Mission Statement

Welcome to the International Open Forum on Data Society (IOFDS)!

At IOFDS, we are dedicated to realizing a prosperous society through the free flow and responsible data utilization. Comprising stakeholders who collaborate freely while respecting each other’s sovereignty across nations and regions, IOFDS fosters a dynamic environment for cooperation.

Our roundtable conferences, held twice annually, are the cornerstone of our mission. They provide a crucial platform for exchanging ideas, discussing common challenges, and formulating recommendations for governments and regulatory bodies. Additionally, our Alignment Task Force facilitates collaborative discussions toward international standardization.

We invite you to participate in activities to achieve data-free flow with trust (DFFT) while upholding data sovereignty. Join us in shaping the future of the data society!
