Covid-19: How can data be used to improve decision-making?

Has data sharing become a key resource in economic decision-making since the start of the Covid-19 pandemic?

To answer this question and understand recent developments in data sharing and its role in driving innovation, we sat down to talk with both Jean-Marc Lazard, CEO of Opendatasoft and Damien Pelletier, our CEO.

In this article, we share three lessons from our conversation:

1. The importance of data sharing for innovation in times of crisis
2. Data governance and its importance in the free flow of information
3. How to use data from IoT sensors to benefit communities

Ecomesure specializes in instrumentation, connected systems, and web services for monitoring and analyzing air quality and environmental data. Opendatasoft operates downstream, using its technology to collect, enhance, publish, and share this data. The two complementary approaches harmonize and standardize the data formats so that they can be reused by anyone.
