Open innovation with data
Open Innovations (formerly ODI Leeds) is a not for profit, independent, mission-led, radically open organisation, that works UK-wide from its base in Leeds. We work in the open with our sponsors, companies, organisations, governments and individuals to use data to innovate and help people make better decisions. We help you to innovate with data – to use the web as it was intended – and create massive surpluses of shared value.
