GeoTrust is a 2018/2019 award by Hasler Foundation to enable reliable and trustable communications in the data economy era.

It is well-known the value of data in the current digital age and social media economy. Consequences of this has produced a digitally-enabled data capture for different business domains and research. Nowadays, there is a lack of trustability for sharing data.
