Tech for the Greater Good: Our Strategic Alliance with Data for Good

In the Alberta tech ecosystem, it is rare to find organisations that speak the same language of data, ethics, and social impact. Our Strategic alliance with Data for Good is built on that shared foundation. We are both tech-focused entities dedicated to ensuring that technology serves the community first. In Calgary Data for Good is a Meetup group and LinkedIn

Data for Good is a national collective of volunteer data scientists and tech professionals who believe that data should be used to solve social and environmental challenges. Like us, they operate at the intersection of high-level technical skill and grassroots community service.

In the tech world, Strategic alliances are often about shared values, mutual advocacy, respect, and moving the industry forward together, even before a specific project kicks off.

As a woman-led tech initiative, Alberta Bike Swap relies on our copyrighted proprietary Bicycle Swap Software to manage the secure Chain of Ownership for thousands of bikes. While we manage the marketplace, Data for Good champions the ethical and impactful use of data across the province.

• Shared Ecosystem: We both believe that Alberta can be a leader in Tech for Good.
• Standards and Rigour: Our commitment to carbon accounting mirrors their commitment to data integrity and measurable outcomes.
• Mutual Advocacy: This Strategic alliance is about two tech-centric organisations supporting one another’s mission to make Alberta a smarter, more sustainable place to live.

Sometimes the strongest partnerships are about alignment. We appreciate Data for Good because they validate the importance of the technical work we do. Together, we are proving that the Circular Economy is powered by data as much as it is by people.
