We are a 💡think-and-do tank for an alternative digital economy


At Leitmotiv, we put our experience in digital infrastructure markets, academia, government, law firms and NGOs to use to contribute to a digital economy that operates within planetary boundaries, where excessive concentration of corporate power is contained by democratic forces and where human rights, dignity, and equality are respected and promoted.

Research is at the heart of what we do

We will use our experience, skills, and market knowledge to gather evidence, undertake research, model and present information on market failures and environmental and social externalities in the digital economy in an accessible and visually appealing form.

Research at the core

Evidence-based advocacy and supporting litigation

Unlocking and sharing information isn't enough to transform the digital economy. We actively pursue corporate accountability by exposing how specific actors cause environmental and social harm, while engaging in legislative advocacy and supporting strategic litigation to ensure proper regulation and accountability for their actions.

Supporting knowledgeable communities

There is an enormous information asymmetry at present between a handful of powerful tech corporations and the rest of humanity. We aim to support an active community of NGOs, grassroots activists, donors, and others in civil society in various regions of the world where information, research, and experience can be shared. Likewise, we will make the power asymmetries in terms of control over key infrastructure more tangible. We aim to play an active role in assisting activists globally towards the causes rather than the symptoms of the ills in our digital economy and to become a central global hub and helpdesk for civil society on research and information about the digital economy.

We support an active global community of NGOs, activists, donors, and civil society to share information, research, and experience across regions. We make power asymmetries over key infrastructure more tangible, helping activists worldwide address causes rather than symptoms of digital economy problems. Our goal: become a central global hub and helpdesk for civil society research and information about the digital economy.

With our combined experience in data science, strategic litigation, social science, human rights research and environmental and competition law, we believe we are well-placed to make a difference on several fronts.

@Max: can you change this picture to new ones Zuzana took?

We are committed to transparency

We expect transparency from the key actors producing our digital economy. That means we also have to practice what we preach and commit to radical transparency within our own organization. That means a promise to you that we will publish all key documents related to our finances and governance.
