Festival de Datos

Data for Development Festival

7–9 November, 2023  |  Punta del Este, Uruguay

Celebrating data ideas and action that help people and planet

Rapid innovations in technology and timely data collection, access, and use are needed to meet the Sustainable Development Goals. Yet the data revolution also raises fundamental tensions around power, privacy, and participation. The Festival aims to strengthen data communities and our collective ability to unlock the value of data for all as we strive to achieve the Agenda 2030.

Building on the 2018 Data for Development Festival in Bristol, the event will connect people and communities in the data space, serving as a platform for announcing new, impactful collaborations to unlock investment and drive innovation.
