In today’s data-saturated world, the real challenge isn’t collecting more data, it’s transforming it into trusted, usable products that drive innovation, efficiency, and measurable business impact. In this session, Matt Webb, Head of Asset Information at UK Power Networks, and Franck Carassus, Co-founder and CSO at Opendatasoft, will share how UKPN is embracing a data product approach with the support of Opendatasoft to break down silos, accelerate collaboration across teams, and make data a real driver of business performance. With Opendatasoft, UKPN has built a public-facing Data Product Marketplace that ensures every dataset is accessible, understandable, and actionable — not only for technical teams, but also for business users and external partners. Together, they are creating data products that combine high-quality metadata, intuitive interfaces, and built-in observability, making them both human-friendly and AI-ready. This session will highlight the tangible benefits of this partnership: faster access to information, increased adoption of data across the organization, and a scalable foundation to prepare for the AI-driven future. If your organization wants to maximize the value of its data while delivering a seamless user experience, it will provide practical inspiration.
