UDX Marketplace
We believe that all urban data has value. UDX not only enables organisations to unlock value from better use and sharing of urban data, but also maximise the monetary value of their data. By opting into our marketplace, UDX gives data consumers easy subscription-based access to data streams from providers who in turn, can benefit from recurring revenues from subscribers.
Whilst we are champions of open data access, we also recognise that some data is commercially sensitive and should only be shared securely and responsibly. We also love free data but recognise that there are costs involved in providing it to others, particularly so for real-time data and especially when providing and sharing such data on a continuous basis.
Urban Data Collective is also creating a community of like-minded people with the right tools to share urban data and derive benefits from its use. A community that values fair access to urban data, in which those sharing data are not disadvantaged but are appropriately recognised for the benefits that can be generated; a community where those who can really benefit from access to urban data are not starved of opportunities by overly restrictive policies.
Together we are building the foundations of a fair urban data economy, for all.
