Who are we?
Companies need to become data-driven companies in order to compete and thrive.
They need both to consume a lot of data, easily and from multiple sources, and to generate new revenue streams from the commercialization of their data assets.
Dawex is the global data marketplace where organizations meet, buy and sell data, directly and securely.
On Dawex, each organization is rigorously vetted with a strict process to ensure its identity.
Companies can monetize datasets & APIs, raw data, refined data & insights. Any kind of data are traded: customer and product-related data, financial data, IoT data, licensed as one-off deals or subscriptions. Thanks to the Dawex data marketplace, providers can highlight the value of their data while retaining complete control over the distribution and configuration of usage rights. Dawex enables organizations to find the most relevant data sources, schedule recurring data exchanges over time, and receive notifications regarding new opportunities.
Our approach, based on data privacy by design and by default, ensures that each organization benefits from all necessary information to satisfy legal obligations, particularly when transferring data containing personal information.
Retailers, car manufacturers, energy companies, insurers, hedge funds and many others, from more than 20 different verticals, are currently engaged on Dawex, either as data buyers, data sellers or both. Gartner, Forrester, 451Research and other renowned research firms recognize Dawex as a pioneer in the growing data economy.
We are a team of experienced engineers, developers and data scientists based in France, in the United States and Canada.
Our goal is to build the first Global Data Exchange, in order to facilitate cross border data flow and make data exchange accessible and secure for all economic stakeholders.
