The aim of this resource is to support the development and understanding of the data governance field by identifying and showcasing the work of actors and initiatives from around the world.
The 2025 Datasphere Governance Atlas explores the evolution of data governance in a rapidly changing world. In light of current geopolitical developments, accelerated digital transformation, and the growing influence of Artificial Intelligence (AI), the report examines how the global data governance ecosystem has progressed since the launch of the Datasphere Initiative in 2022. By strengthening the foundations of the field, the Atlas contributes to building a more coherent, informed, and globally relevant data governance landscape. It raises critical questions, identifies existing gaps, and highlights opportunities to advance more inclusive and effective governance approaches — grounded in the shared goal of responsibly unlocking the value of data for all. The 2025 edition is grounded in the mapping of 778 organizations across more than 100 countries, of which 420 are profiled in depth.
