Analytics enable nonprofits to help people and planet

Analytics enable nonprofits to help people and planet

Make the world a better place

Nowadays Analytics significantly contributes to the success of companies. Our vision is that Analytics has the same potential to contribute to humanitarian and societal challenges. Our dream is to apply analytics and contribute to the Sustainable Development Goals.

Contribute to the Sustainable Development Goals

We believe that analytics can contribute to solving the major challenges facing humanity: climate, hunger, deforestation, the extinction of flora and fauna, you name it. We’ve already seen the tremendous value that analytics can have for commercial organizations and the time is now ripe to harness their power to help solve these problems.

Contribute to the Sustainable Development Goals

Achieve the SDGs through the application of analytics

This is how much impact our work can have

Curious to increase and broaden your impact?

We don’t want to restrict ourselves to a single SDG, and the problems we’re addressing are global. We’re looking for large NGOs, public institutions and nonprofits with a global focus that are eager to work with us to achieve the SDGs by applying analytics. We welcome companies with expertise in IT, UX/UI, application development, data science and AI, or large corporations that wish to provide support, either by contributing funds, manpower for projects, or technology licenses and capacity. Philanthropic and charitable funds are also welcome, of course, as are volunteers with data science skills, or with project management or marketing skills.

Curious to increase and broaden your impact?

"Join us, if you want to contribute to a Better World with Analytics!"
