Taking action on the basis of good data has never been so important

Our lives, both as organizations and individuals, are changing faster than ever before. Across the globe, businesses, as well as research and academic institutions, face the challenge of making smart decisions to accelerate sustainable development in both the public and private sectors. While this poses a great many challenges, there is however more data available than ever before to drive smart decision-making.
