A Deep-Dive on Data Cooperatives and Digital Infrastructure Solutions for Data Agency

A multistakeholder dialogue on the sidelines of the 80th session of the UN General Assembly:

In the lead-up to the UN International Year of Cooperatives in 2025, this high-level roundtable and workshop will convene global policymakers, civil society leaders, academics, funders, and technologists to highlight key alternative data governance and business models to the current highly centralized digital economy. Data is the backbone of every technology, including artificial intelligence and the digital systems that shape our economies, governance, and lives. However, the prevailing model treats data as a commodity to be extracted and optimized for profit only by a few.

The question is: How can we return value to the people, communities, and organizations that generate data? And how can we ensure individuals have a voice, a choice, and a stake in their digital lives?

The event is hosted in collaboration with partners working at the forefront of digital rights, data governance, sustainable development, and consumer protection: Aapti Institute, Data2X, Data Privacy Brasil, Decentralization Research Center, Global Partnership for Sustainable Development Data, Global Solutions Initiative, Project Liberty Institute. It aims to align diverse but complementary agendas under a common purpose: building more just, inclusive, and people-centered data systems.

The event will examine innovative models and case studies, including data cooperatives, privacy-centered governance models, and data infrastructure solutions with SDG-aligned capacity building, that respond to a growing demand for alternatives to the dominant extractive data paradigm.

Objective: What policy frameworks, institutional supports, and cross-sector alliances from G7/G20 communiqués to Global Digital Compact, etc., are needed to scale and sustain data governance and business models that promote a fair data economy?

This event will be held under Chatham House rules.
