We support investigative journalism

Researching company information on North Data is an important source of information for investigative journalism. The network representations on our website enable connections and contexts to be discovered - not just on a national level, but also across borders.

Many journalists have been accredited for our free Premium Service Investigative Accounts, which enables powerful searches and detailed insight into the financial situation of European companies. Also the notification service ("Watch List") is important for journalistic work.

We actively support independent and investigative journalism because we believe it is an essential pillar of a modern democratic society. This page gives an insight into our efforts and showcases selected research.

If you are a journalist and are interested in using our services, please send us a request to info@northdata.com with a description of your work and we will offer you a free account.
