Open Knowledge Foundation (OKF) is a global, non-profit network that promotes and shares information at no charge, including both content and data.

[6] Between 2015–2017, Pavel Richter took on the role of CEO of Open Knowledge Foundation, having been executive director of Wikimedia Deutschland.

Its most prominent project, CKAN, is used by many of the world's governments to host open catalogues of data that their countries possess.

KnowledgeForge allows sectoral working groups to have space to manage projects related to open knowledge.

[36] Other events have been organised within the areas of data visualisation[37] and free information network infrastructure.

In 2013 OKF obtained sponsorship from CCIA[39] for 3 fellowships, which were awarded to Rosemarie Graves,[40] Sam Moore, and Peter Kraker.

[41] Open Knowledge Foundation also supports Apps for Europe,[42] and D-CENT, a European project created to share and organise data from seven countries, which ran from October 2013 to May 2016.
