ODX connects those who need data with those who have data, develops tools to share data, provides training and networking opportunities, and influences policy and standards. ODX is a national initiative to strengthen Canada’s technology brand and accelerate commercialization.
Canada’s Open Data Exchange (ODX) is a private-public partnership. Its mandate is to make it simple to access and use any open data for commercial purpose. Our founding partners—University of Waterloo, D2L (Desire2Learn), CDMN (Canadian Digital Media Network), OpenText and Communitech—are committed to contribute over three years to building ODX, with funds being matched by the Government of Canada.
