OUR MISSION
With access to knowledge, we all flourish
OUR MISSION
We want to transform the way the world interacts with information.
Access to information is a fundamental human right.
Our mission is to make sure everyone has the tools to access and share knowledge, no matter who they are, or where they live.
This allows humans to shape their potential into action, leading to inclusion and progress for all of us.
WHAT DRIVES US
Life-changing ideas and answers to the world's most burning questions are lying somewhere, waiting to be known.
Without a common platform, we as a global community lack the means to the share and access such ideas.

Why this matters to us
AND SHOULD MATTER TO YOU, TOO.
Wisdom is best when shared with everyone
A connected world is one where human ingenuity, traditional knowledge and ground-breaking ideas can transcend borders, enabling everyone to share and learn from each other.
The future is sustainable and equitable
Climate change, public health, water scarcity - these are just some examples of events that start locally but send ripples throughout the world. We need to fight global problems with global solutions, and equitable access to information is the first step.
We are all in this together
We cannot progress in silos. When ideas build on other ideas, we emerge stronger. When we progress as a world economy, we accelerate the path to a healthy, bright, and secure future for all.
Our Guiding Values
Courage
Doing hard things takes courage. It means relying on our collective experiences and knowledge, and trusting each other.
Teamwork
Great achievements come from working together, helping each other, and building on our strengths. This is the essence of everything we do.
Commitment
What we are doing is really hard. We are fully committed to each other’s success and to doing the right thing, always.
GSD
We Get Stuff Done. Period.
Our Collective Responsibility
Everything that we do is based on a deep commitment to those we serve, especially to our end-users, wherever they are.
We are guided by the promise of leaving no one behind and to doing “our bit” in ensuring that all of us are connected. For, the next life-changing idea may lie somewhere waiting to be known.
