This report, the fourth in a series published by the Data for Common Purpose Initiative (DCPI), is designed to help leaders understand the complex dynamics and difficult decisions they will face in managing data exchanges in their transition to a data-driven economy. 

Based upon real-world insights from Project Moonshot, a public-private data exchange established by the Colombian government,  the report highlights the following:

Colombia (and other Latin American countries) are committed to stimulating their economic transition to a data-driven economy as a means of addressing social, economic and environmental challenges.

There is an urgent need for trustworthy and transparent public-private data exchanges which, will be central to the country’s economic transition.

Strengthening the trust of individuals demands new approaches in the use of consent mechanisms.

Understanding the underlying economics of data exchanges and the value pools they create is critical for the long-term sustainability of data exchanges. 

The use of data exchanges within the Colombian energy sector is critical for managing its net-zero transition and meeting 2050 carbon-reduction targets.
