This document discusses the Open Data Institute (ODI) and its mission to connect, equip, and inspire people around the world to innovate with data. The ODI believes that unlocking and connecting data from dozens of countries and thousands of companies has the potential to unlock trillions in economic value and impact billions of people by enabling better decision making. Open data initiatives have shown returns on investment of 58:1 for Transport for London and 70:1 for Denmark's national addressing data, demonstrating the significant economic benefits of opening up public sector data.
