Icebreaking

Icebreaking is the on-ramp to Net Zero Data innovation. It convenes stakeholders in a neutral environment with a focus on specific challenges. Together we identify priority value cases, map data value chains, and prioritise actions and the roadmap to implementation.

We’re here to help you be successful. Take value from our experiences to save you time and money.

Outcome: Create value from data internally and externally by unlocking data discovery and sharing.

Outputs:
The Icebreaking process is tailored to programme-specific needs. Icebreaking outputs include:

  • Identification of priority use case(s) from both internal & external perspectives
    (e.g. finance/ESG, energy, transport, built world, water, agriculture, as agreed during the programme)
  • Exploration of product and service innovation, driven by priority use cases
  • Models to help break down internal & external data silos and unlock internal innovation
  • Partnership development with stakeholders and related parts of the Net Zero Data value chain
  • Collaboration with IB1 to develop and foster the broader innovation ecosystem
    (e.g. joint bidding, joint development with startups, secondment as deemed appropriate).

Process: to go far, we go together

Our process includes Steering Groups with up to five Advisory Groups to ensure that we can co-design and implement market-wide solutions, address specific user needs and address both technical (data standards, APIs, etc) and non-technical (legal, policy, communication) areas.

Icebreaker One, as an independent, neutral non-profit, assists by convening and catalysing activity across sectors and bridging between the public and private sectors.
