Working Together to Empower Citizens
We are a dynamic meeting place that brings together organizations, ideas, and resources to open up governments and empower citizens worldwide.
Get to Know Us
Open Gov Hub is the world's first meeting place (coworking space + innovation hub) dedicated to opening up governments and empowering citizens around the world.
Our community includes nearly 60 organizations and 250 people. We help open government advocates be more efficient through accessing shared resources and be more effective through collaboration.
Transparency
Opening up information and data about public activities, and helping keep governments honest.
Accountability
Promoting responsibility and integrity in governance and combating corruption.
Participation
Equality and participation for all citizens.
And in all this work, we’re committed to innovation and adaptive learning. Read more about our collaborative community and our events, meet our team that makes it happen, and learn about the work of our members. See how you can work with us — or become a Member!

What our members say:
“The Hub has been a source of camaraderie outside my own organization. In a lot of ways, the little things have helped provide a sense of community - especially in a year [2021] when that's been much more rare.”
“Being a part of the Hub means having a network of people I can speak to with similar work.”
"Being part of the Hub has introduced me to new ideas, people and organizations, all working to make governance more inclusive and effective."
"It feels good being a part of something bigger than just my organization."
“I get access to skill-building and a plethora of knowledge on a regular basis!”
