Making a positive impact on our world
For Society
CABI is a beacon for business innovation and a catalyst for societal progress. We work to find ways to leverage the power of AI and advanced analytics to drive positive societal outcomes.
Annual Data for Good conference
Our annual Data for Good conference brings together business leaders, community members and academic experts to explore how data can be leveraged to address social challenges. The conference examines themes like data responsibility, ethics and regional economic growth and fosters dialogue and collaboration. By highlighting the intersection of data and social impact, our conference inspires innovative approaches and reinforces our dedication to making a difference beyond business.
Societally focused research
Our research aims to address some of society’s most pressing challenges. Through advanced analytics, CABI projects have focused on improving public health, promoting economic inclusion and enhancing community well-being. For example, CABI researchers partnered with institutions in the Olin Brookings Commission to develop digital tools for detecting opioid diversion, contributing to national efforts to combat the opioid crisis.
Societally focused projects
CABI’s consulting projects extend our mission of societal impact by working directly with community organizations, government agencies and nonprofits. Our efforts include projects that apply cutting-edge data analytics to real-world problems and develop solutions that drive positive change. Initiatives have ranged from developing metrics dashboards to support supplier diversity initiatives to optimizing resource allocation for local nonprofits.
