For all of open data’s potential to address public challenges, the truth remains that most data generated today is in fact collected by the private sector. This data contains tremendous possible insights to help solve public problems. But because of access restrictions and other transaction costs its vast potential often goes untapped.
Data Collaboratives - a new type of public-private partnership around data and data expertise - offer a way around this limitation. This panel will review the potential and emerging practice of data collaboratives. It will examine why, where, how and under what conditions data collaboratives can provide for data-driven public innovation.
Key questions:
- What are the value propositions and practices of data collaboratives?
- What are the different ways to develop data collaboratives -  examples and lessons learned?
- What are the risks of using corporate data for public good?
- How to overcome the current transactions costs associated with setting up data collaboratives?
