Smart Data Hub

ABOUT US

No data, no AI. Crap data, crap AI.
That is why we collect, clean and publish data for you, so you don't have to.

See how to download data from us for free with one click and how to get data directly to Python Pandas DataFrame in this short video:

The long version:

It is the data holding AI and data science back, not the science.

As reported by Forbes, Data Scientists persistently experience the preparation of data as the most time consuming part of their work.

We fix that.

To speed you up, we have collected, cleansed and standardized thousands datasets from tens of sources all over the world for you.

We've also handcrafted a number of geospatial data products for you that answer to what, where, when, why. Demographics, places, services, health, weather, traffic, air quality, forecasts, history... Tell us the location, we'll tell all about it literally with nanometer accuracy.

Need external data in your analysis? Go to our data catalogue, sign up and download datasets for free.

Internal data + external data = richer analytics!
