The Data Catalyst Institute (DCI) is a non-profit organization working to inform and shape policies that provide both meaningful protection and promote economic and social good. DCI works with governments, academics, and industry partners to realize the benefits of a data-driven world made possible by a more integrated regulatory approach. To support that integrated approach, DCI provides policymakers with empirical analysis, topical research, and most importantly, access to the small businesses directly affected by their policies. Data is powering a global industrial revolution and should be understood, promoted, and respected to ensure the benefits are realized - for everyone.
