About us

The Global Sandboxes Forum is organized by the Datasphere Initiative to foster collaboration by empowering public and private actors, sharing experiences, and developing guidance to address digital age challenges and unlock the value of data for people and the planet.

We do this by connecting and amplifying voices from stakeholders from across sectors, conducting research on concrete data challenges and opportunities, experimenting with policy and technical data-sharing solutions and working with decision makers to enact change in data governance narratives, policies and strategies.
