Datenna and the Jamestown Foundation are delighted to announce a new data sharing and research partnership focused on open-source intelligence (OSINT) covering China's technology and industrial ecosystem. The collaboration brings together Datenna's China-focused platform and datasets with Jamestown's expertise in methodical research and writing. The partnership aims to produce rigorous, evidence-based analysis of China's military-civil fusion efforts, technological development, and state-directed industrial strategies.
Jamestown is a premier think tank that focuses on the international community's most pressing concerns. Through in-house analysis and submissions from vetted experts, Jamestown pushes forward the conversation and provides thorough analysis on key issues. By working with the Jamestown Foundation, Datenna aims to strengthen its network and tap into a talented group of dedicated analysts.
"The Jamestown Foundation represents one of the best professional organizations in the China studies space today. The China Brief in particular is an invaluable resource for practitioners and anyone trying to better understand China, the PLA, and the most pressing issues facing the international community. We're really excited to join Jamestown and leverage our data and skillsets with the breadth of their knowledge and fantastic body of work."— Jaap van Etten, CEO, Datenna
In turn, Jamestown gains access to Datenna's insights into China's techno-industrial policies and military-civil fusion practices. Through extensive datasets on government procurements, research projects, patent filings, ownership chains, and more, Datenna is the premier provider of OSINT data focused on China and state-directed technological development.
"Datenna is one of the best sources for quantitative data on China's technology development and state interactions with industry. Their datasets include key information on what entities are developing, what they're funding, and how they're contributing to the Chinese state and military. We're excited to dive into their deep well of China data and tease out some insights on MCF and China's technological development."— Peter Mattis, President, Jamestown Foundation
