Goal: to harvest benefits of the boom in data for the greater good
As more of the world connects to the Internet, data is helping us make more informed decisions and solve big societal problems. Here in Singapore, data is helping us tackle tomorrow's challenges today. Sensors and cameras throughout the city are collecting information that could help solve issues such as urban density, healthcare, our aging population and energy sustainability. Data is helping us improve the places we work and live, in turn creating smart cities.
Data is powering this innovation - it is driving sustainable growth, creating social change and making the world a better place. It is creating opportunity, helping people find jobs and start businesses. In times of crisis, it is helping people find each other - and helping people help each other.
At Facebook, we are focused on a mission to make the world more open and connected. We believe there is real value in enabling people to share with one another, to learn from one another, and to connect with the people, issues and communities that matter to them.
