Dawex has been invited to talk at the World Economic Forum Annual Meeting in Davos about the rising importance of creating and developing data ecosystems to address the most pressing issues the world is facing. On May 24, Fabrice Tocco engaged into a lively discussion on “Strengthening Trust in Public-Private Data Exchanges” along with Keir Simmons, Senior International Correspondent at NBC News, Lauren Woodman, Executive Director at DataKind, Angela Oduor Lungati, Executive Director at Ushahidi Inc, and Øyvind Eriksen, President and Chief Executive Officer at Aker ASA.

Why is data exchange recognized as a pioneering technology?

Dawex_picture_Fabrice-Tocco-1"The creation of a Data Policy platform by the World Economic Forum has marked a new milestone for data exchange. It drives public and private organizations to seize the data opportunities and open new business horizons. Data exchange is an innovation enabler and unlocks the value of data, renewing the way public and private organizations collaborate. This is shaping a promising future."

Fabrice Tocco, Co-CEO, Dawex

The rising importance of creating new ecosystems through data exchanges

The agenda of the World Economic Forum Annual Meeting in Davos has placed the subject of Data Exchange, Data Ecosystems and Data Sharing as the focus of 4 of its sessions. This is illustrating the ever increasing importance of creating and developing data ecosystems to address the most pressing issues of today’s world. Data exchanges are playing a central role in today’s global economy.

This recognition of the importance of data exchange by the World Economic Forum highlights the need to:

  • Structure the data economy around common policies, frameworks and standards
  • Position data exchange as a major topic of organizations’ business growth and data valorization
  • Increase data literacy and empower employees, decision makers and citizens to use data in a fruitful way
  • Encourage the constitution of large, multi-sectoral data ecosystems

The benefits brought by a facilitated data circulation are numerous:

  • The importance of data exchange capabilities have been intensified by the crisis context of the pandemic. Organizations need more data to make fast, informed decisions and need to rely on a secure data exchange environment.
  • By breaking down data silos and encouraging all organizations to make their data accessible, data exchange can pave the way for new models of public-private partnerships on an international level.
  • As organizations realized they must have the necessary responsiveness and adaptability to all kinds of future economic challenges, there is an urgent need to build internal capabilities now in order to be data exchange-ready.
