WEF, City of Helsinki: Human-centric Approach Data for Global Progress

The World Economic Forum and the City of Helsinki will discuss on Wednesday, September 8, 2021 data policy with global leaders and public figures. They will discuss how a human-centric approach to the world’s 25 quintillion daily data points can shape post-pandemic societies for progress, people, and the planet. The briefing is on the record.

Data leaders from Edelman, Splunk, and the Patrick J. McGovern Foundation will share new frameworks, tools, and best practices for a human-centric approach to data relationships. Senior leaders from the Forum and Helsinki will discuss why this approach is critical for shaping a future where data is used responsibly and innovatively to create progress while respecting, valuing, and empowering people and societies.
