For all of data’s potential to address public challenges, most data generated today is collected by the private sector. Data collaboratives offer a way around this limitation. They represent an emerging public-private partnership model in which participants from different areas — including the private sector, government, and civil society — come together to exchange data and pool analytical expertise to the end of creating new public value. While still an emerging practice, examples of such partnerships now exist around the world, across sectors and public policy domains.
