A revolution in technology is happening and it's changing everything we do.Never before has so much data been collected and analysed. Never before have so many people had the ability to freely, easily and quickly share information across the globe.Governments and corporations are using this data to create knowledge about our world, and make decisions about our future.But who should control this data and the ability to find insights and make decisions? The many, or the few? This is a choice that we get to make. The future is up for grabs.Do we want to live in a world where access to knowledge is "closed", and the power and understanding it brings is controlled by the few? Or, do we choose a world where knowledge is "open" and we are all empowered to make informed choices about our future?We believe that knowledge should be open, and that everyone – from citizens to scientists, from enterprises to entrepreneurs, – should have access to the information they need to understand and shape the world around them.
