Data Union Café

Real pleasure to be accepted into The Coalition for Online Data Empowerment ahead of our app launch in September. It’s critical at these early stages of the data union industry that all stakeholders provide a unified voice when negotiating with big tech. Industry bodies like CODE will therefore help get our members’ data back where it belongs, with them. Thanks for leading the charge Tom Fish!

📣 Ingenuity Impact 2024 Awards 🏆 Last month, we were delighted to reach the final 6 out of 137 companies selected from across the country to compete in the national Ingenuity Impact competition. Our founder Charlie Gale pitched for 10 minutes to senior leadership of Nuffield Health on how our app (due September) can help communities ease the cost of living through taking control of their consumer data and monetise it directly. It was a fantastic day full of inspiring contestants and we are pleased to announce we took home one of the first ever Inclusive Financial Technology Hub (INFINITY) prizes! We are very grateful for Meryem Duygun, Founder of INFINITY, for presenting us this award. A huge congratulations also to the other prize winners; Croptunity led by Nithin Jayaprakash, Justine Sebastian, Joel Jolly Puthenpurackal, and @Mathew Jose. As well as @IV4EV, led by Owen McAllister, MBA, CFA. A massive thank you to the Ingenuity Program team for all their hard work to put this competition together and all the judges who grilled us in the Q&A! 🙏 Claire Mulholland Rose Saikayasit John Gathergood Simon Mosey Ellie Scriven @Mercy Queen Audu Mike Reid Srshti P.
