Pulse Lab New York, established in 2009, serves as the Headquarters of Global Pulse and is the thought-leadership, global partnerships, and knowledge-sharing hub for the network of Pulse Labs.
Our team in New York works closely with UN agencies and government counterparts to get a better understanding of the policy and implementation issues they are grappling with and explore how new data sources can provide useful insights that support decision making.
Our multidisciplinary team is made up of data scientists, engineers, designers, social scientists, communication experts, and data privacy and legal experts, who work together with development and humanitarian actors to prototype and implement innovation programmes.
2018 saw increased public interest around how data is being collected and used, fueled by the global conversation around the opportunities and perils of new data sources and emerging technologies. The United Nations continued to drive the data revolution for sustainable development through the work of its innovation offices, including efforts led by UN Global Pulse.
