Welcome to the
Unlocking the Power of Data Initiative

A fast-changing world requires more and more data to understand and address challenges faced by the world population. The Unlocking the Power of Data Initiative aims to bridge the gap between the data and statistical community and a diversity of stakeholders to advance data ecosystems and provide the information needed for a fact-based worldview.

The Unlocking the Power of Data Initiative is led by the Swiss Confederation and its partners. This current initiative was originally called “Project Rosling”. Due to some misunderstandings on who is behind the project, we renamed it in February 2023. The initiative was inspired by the work of the Roslings and the Gapminder Foundation.
