Who we are

Driving societal impact through holistic data ecosystems

CDPG is a pioneering initiative committed to leveraging data and technology for societal impact. We work at the intersection of technology, policy, and society, enabling responsible data sharing and innovation across sectors such as urban development, agriculture, geospatial services, healthcare and more. We foster collaboration between academia, industry, and government to address pressing challenges across sectors and empower stakeholders to develop solutions that drive equitable and sustainable progress. Anchored in translational research and real-world applications, our software platforms, AI/ML models, innovative applications and data policies facilitate the use of data for public good.
 
All projects under CDPG are open source and built upon a robust, underlying framework of open standard APIs, standardised data models, and integrated security, privacy, and accounting mechanisms.
