The age of the data pioneers - BrightAct a leading innovation in data showcased in Scotland

Written By sofiewahlstrom .

Our Data Summit conference in Edinburgh on 3rd and 4th November will showcase leading innovations in data and AI with over 72 speakers including companies like BrightAct, a Swedish firm formed after its founder Sofie Wahlstrom identified a gap in data about domestic abuse while working in the public sector.

She and her business partner Elinor Samuelsson ran a two-year pilot, gathering and providing data on domestic abuse to relevant organisations. Now nearly complete, 16 countries – including Scotland - are interested in the technology, which could ultimately help prevent these incidents occurring.
