Knoema Corporation is a privately held data technology firm headquartered in New York, founded in 2011 and officially launched in 2014. The company employs a team of data engineers, economists, and software developers based in New York City and Washington, DC.
Offering extensive data visualization capabilities, Knoema grants access to over 3.9 billion time series sourced from more than 1,500 providers. Its datasets are frequently utilized by international publications and serve as references for data aggregators and academic research institutions.
History
The inception of Knoema in 2014 was marked by a partnership with the African Development Bank aimed at creating the African information highway, an ongoing initiative focused on open data and transparency. Further collaborations included working with the European Commission Joint Research Centre alongside the African Development Bank to establish digital platforms for collecting and disseminating food commodity price data across Africa. Knoema also delivered SDMX-compliant infrastructure to facilitate structured data exchange between national governments and the International Monetary Fund.
In February 2020, Knoema broadened its scope into alternative data by acquiring Adaptive Management, a company specializing in alternative data aggregation and related solutions.
Later that year, Knoema enhanced its alliances with multiple data providers and introduced the "Alternative Data+" catalog on November 3. This resource comprises hundreds of detailed tear sheets that outline each provider’s dataset coverage, inherent biases, pricing structures, metadata, and sample data offerings.
December 2020 saw Knoema's acquisition by Eldridge Industries, accompanied by an investment from Snowflake Ventures.
