Objective

The Geo-social Technologies AddressForAll Institute aims to advocate for open data and social improvement through the good use of technology with an emphasis on geo-spatial technologies

Background

As part of their work supporting the collaborative map project OpenStreetMap, for 3 years the founders of the Institute tried to motivate the Brazilian government to create an open and collaborative address database in Brazil. Seeing that the project did not go beyond ideation due to lack of political will or strength, Thierry Jean, Filipe Rocha and Peter Krauss decided to launch the "AddressForAll" project in 2020 and created a non-profit association called "Geo-Social Technologies AddressForAll Institute".
