Why Jersey?
Jersey is a leading international finance centre with a long and successful record in financial stewardship. The associated skills and services in the Island make it well placed to adapt to offering data stewardship services. Specifically, Jersey’s trust and foundation laws could be adapted to the formation of data trusts and data foundations providing legal and governance frameworks to facilitate independent data stewardship and controlled data sharing.
What are we doing?
Digital Jersey has formed a special interest group to explore the opportunities for Jersey to export Data Stewardship Services. We aim to support Jersey companies to innovate and pilot new data stewardship products and services and facilitate the development of a local eco-system to enable this new sector to grow.
This year we are:
- Expanding the local Special Interest Group
- Continuing market investigations
- Co-ordinating a pilot trial of Jersey’s first data trust
