Funds from this grant support an ambitious project by a team at Chrinon Limited to create an open access database that compiles information about legally recognized corporate entities, pulling information from dozens of public databases around the globe in the effort to identify the ownership, legal structure, and other features of every corporation, partnership, conglomerate, subsidiary, and holding company in the world. A small pilot grant from the Sloan Foundation launched the project in 2012 and the Chrinon team has made significant progress since then. The project website, OpenCorporates.com, already contains information on more than 65 million legal entities spanning more than 31 countries, all of which can be freely accessed academics, regulators, and the public. Grants funds will support the continued operation and expansion of OpenCorporates, including the collection of information about corporate court proceedings, regulatory filings, and licenses.
