There is huge potential for data to help tackle major issues, such as the cost-of-living crisis and public health emergencies, but many of these solutions require public trust and support. We believe that the most effective and inclusive way to earn this is through engaging with communities.
We set out on a mission to find a way to not only bring London’s residents into the fold, but the organisations, community groups and public institutions that are already driving changes and creating impact on the ground.
London Data Week was our answer to this, creating a space to foster collaboration between the people and the organisations that make London the great city it is. In 2023, we made it happen for the first time, and never looked back.
London Data Week was co-founded by Jennifer Ding and Sam Nutt, with partners from LOTI, The Alan Turing Institute and the Mayor of London.
