What is Smart Data

Smart data enables secure, standardised, and consent-driven sharing of data between organisations and individuals, unlocking innovation, better services, and economic growth. It creates a connected, efficient ecosystem that benefits consumers, businesses, and the wider economy.

Why it matters

The UK is entering a data-sharing revolution. The Data (Use and Access) Bill which has passed through Parliament will give the government and regulators powers to mandate data-sharing across sectors including energy, retail, telecoms, and finance, unlocking an estimated £27.8 billion in economic value.

Government and regulators are already developing the secondary legislation that will require data holders across sectors to take part in smart data initiatives.

Our mission is to proactively deliver scalable, market-driven solutions that anticipate regulation - enabling industry players to lead, not follow.
