Open Knowledge Finland is a non-profit grassroots organization that promotes free access to and usage of knowledge, encourages free flow of information and advocates for a transparent and inclusive society in Finland.
Open Knowledge Finland has been a leading player in developing MyData principles and concepts in Finland since 2012, when the term “mydata” was born in a special interest group. OKFI was one of the main organizers of MyData 2016.
Based in Paris, Fing is a nonprofit think & do-tank that detects, generates and shares ideas that anticipate digital transformations. One of their key projects is MesInfos, a project encouraging organisations to share personal data with their clients or users.
Fing considers the shift toward empowering people with their data as one of the major paradigm shifts ahead in the digital world. This can only happen globally, which is why Fing has been co-organizing MyData since 2016.
