Open Data: Gold Without Rush

When you need data from the past, it is too late to start collecting it. If you need satellite data, it is unlikely that you can have your own sensors in the space. Working with open data is sometimes cheaper than with market vendor data. But most open data is not processed. We made the investment to clean it for you.

Search Things Not Strings

A very cold winter is coming to Europe.
Thermowatt is looking for specific locations in the Hague, then South Holland, then in the Benelux, then in the EU, to pump out the energy from lukewarm wastewater, protecting both your energy costs, the climate, and the biodiversity of natural water bodies.

Link Unconnected, Hard-to-use Data

Just weeks before the tragic, but sadly predictable Belgian floods we connected some open, but unprocessed opinion poll data about the perception of flood risk, hydrological data about the actual risk of flood, and public finance data in the extremely decentralized country.

Software solutions



Our new, vertical observatories bring ESG and antitrust solutions from our domain-specific observatories. The competition observatory is in an early, conceptual phase. We are currently making progress with the ESG reporting issue, which overlap, for example, in providing evidence against greenwashing.




/br>





We want to make a big impact directly on SDG Goal 16 with increasing transparency, fighting greenwashing, and SDG Goal 17 with offering free, open-source solutions that are applicable even in the least developed environments, and which are packaged into affordable for-profit and public benefit services.

Climate change and environmental degradation are an existential threat to Europe and the world. To overcome these challenges, the European Union created the European Green Deal strategic plan. It aims to make the EU’s economy sustainable by turning climate and environmental challenges into opportunities, and making the transition just and inclusive for all.

Our automated observatory want to support evidence-based policy making, and KPIs for business and policy-makers alike with truly usable open science and open governmental data. We want to make sure that environmental, socio-economic, political data is brought to easy-to-import, easy to compare, tidy formats. We use data that has been scientifically validated, and we aim to validate all our open-source processing code in scientific peer-review.

Our collaboration is open for individuals, citizens scientists, research institutes, NGOS, companies.

Stop uploading your work onto the web 2.0 in a pdf, epub, or word file. Build a self-refreshing resource that re-refreshes the statistics, legal texts, tables, visualizations, footnotes and bibliography instead. This way you’ll have a greater impact: you’ll connect to web 3.0 of the global knowledge graphs, and your work can be reused much better.
