The data revolution may not receive pledges yet at but at the very least, it can gain political momentum, Johannes Jütting, manager of the PARIS21 Secretariat within the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, told Devex associate editor Kelli Rogers on the sidelines of the Cartagena Data Festival in Colombia.
