In this presentation, we tell who we are, what our initiatives are, what we do and what inspires us.

1. We live on the INFORMATION AGE.
OK. And what do we do now?

2. Every day, we live
thousands of challenges.

3. Which is the best way to go to
work today?
Which is the healthiest food?
From personal challenges...

4. What should we do
with global warming?
...to global challenges.
How is the government using
public resources?

5. Challenges that could be better
solved if we all had access to the
adequate information.

6. Wouldn't it be easier to choose your means of
transport if you knew exactly which are the
fastest, cheapest, less polluted, more
efficient options?

7. Or choose between candidates or government
programmes having as a base the track record
and the detail of public resources management?

8. We, from Open Knowledge Brazil, believe in a
world where information is open and available to
make more aware decisions about our lives, what
we buy, who we vote for.
A world where information and knowledge are
available for everyone.

9. The good news is that this revolution is
already taking place.
It has never been so easy to search and
share information around the world.
Never before so many data have been
collected and analysed.
It is essential to strengthen communities,
create tools and develop abilities that help
turn information into knowledge.
The future is OPEN!

10. Open Data has value when
combined with citizen necessities.
This means that Open Data should support
improvement of citizen's life.
The Open Knowledge has been a key
player in the promotion of the best
practices and opening of
Governmental data.
