We are All the Data Economy
Data has value and the people who create it deserve a share of it. The Equator Society works with communities, organisations and governments so people get paid for the data they create.

Those who create data must benefit from its value.
Our work with communities, organisations and governments ensures people get paid for data they create.
This is the mission of the Equator Society. Funders, work with us to enable communities to create data and get paid.

All data has value in the digital economy. You deserve a share of that value. Equator Society initiatives enable people to benefit from data they create.
Communities create information about their members, places and activities. This is knowledge. Others capture and monetise this knowledge.
Equator Society programmes connect communities and organisations to make data work — and pay — for change.
