About 01

01’s vision combines what Google did for search and what Amazon did for eCommerce to build the “Internet of Data”: a single access point to all the data in the world, including free and commercial data. Our data network connects all datasets and data points, such as health & life-science data for health AI/analytics applications or for new drug development.

Our Go-To-Market focuses on the US healthcare & life-science market.

01 is a continuation from two previous companies dealing with data trading, data access, and data sharing via data marketplace platforms, data transfer technologies, GDPR-compliance-by-design, and centralised and distributed networks.

• Improving population health through the understanding and changing the conditions that determine them. e.g., creating nutrition and health programs for developing countries or worse-off communities.
