We feel that the advancement of technology and our economic systems have the ability to grow with humans and the natural world at the center and it is our mission at UMi to facilitate this harmonious relationship. That’s why we’re creating an ecosystem uniting software, research, education, and community to help merge the phygital worlds in a healthy and meaningful way. Our goal at UMi is to come together to ensure that our journey forward is not just marked by economic and technological milestones of progress, but also by the social upward mobility and enrichment of every life we touch.

Thus, UMi’s mission is to use an anthropological approach to data sovereignty theories, methods, and praxes, This means that we teach everyday people, professionals, and businesses how to practice data sovereignty—the ability to have presence, ownership, and stewardship of their data across the dimensions and environments it is used. Largely, we provide the phygital infrastructure via UMi-Score, UMi-Versity, and UMi-Experience to support these
ethical data practices.
