The third International Data Week (IDW) will begin in Seoul, Korea after the successful events in Denver, Colorado USA in 2016 followed by Gaborone, Botswana in 2018. The theme for this year’s IDW is “Data to improve our world” in response to major global challenges including:
- Addressing climate change
- Controlling disease
- Reducing disaster risk

This event will bring together data scientists, researchers, industry leaders, entrepreneurs, policy makers and data stewards from across the world to discover and explore how to leverage the data revolution to improve our world.
