UMI (Upward Mobility Initiative)

Using Data To Empower
Communities and Support
Businesses

Technology is rapidly transforming our economy but we aren’t prioritizing the well-being of humanity and our shifting environment in that process.

The Solution.
We Need Data Sovereignty!

UMi’s mission is to spread awareness of ‘Data Sovereignty’ (DS)—the ability for resilient communities to have presence, ownership, and stewardship of their data across the dimensions and environments it is used.

Phygital Presence

The state or fact of existing, occurring, or being present in a place or thing in real-time.

Data Stewardship

Guarantees individuals and communities can cultivate their own data and perhaps monetize it in order to transform it into a source of socioeconomic mobility.

Data Stewardship

Empowers individuals and communities to manage their information ecology, fostering ethical collaboration with enterprises for socially responsible innovation.

The Code Switch: A Paradigm Shift In Value

The digital transformation is accelerating a dual economic structure where the value of contextual data is rising exponentially. In UMi’s approach to Data Sovereignty, resilient communities are the true producers of culturally rich data, while public and private enterprises act as consumers, relying on this data to generate meaningful insights, best practices, and products.

Consumers

#EthicalConsumption

#RegenerativeCommerce

#BiasMitigated

#DataDrivenEthics

#ConsciousEngagement

#DataSovereignLiving

People and communities are recognized as consumers and target markets even though they are the true producers of the contextual data that is used to innovate existing infrastructure and support emerging markets.

Producers

Community data creates valuable feedback for industries in marketplaces but without ‘data sovereignty’ individuals are unable to maximize the benefits they are able to get from their own data.
