Who We Are

StateUp is building a trustworthy platform of research, training, and data to help decision-makers cut through information silos and drive targeted, sustainable growth.

OUR STORY

DR Tanya Filer

Founder and CEO

StateUp was founded by Dr Tanya Filer who, out of her work with researchers, students and policy leaders at the University of Cambridge, recognized the need for a dedicated platform that could bridge the gap between high-trust expert research and practical solutions to address at scale global needs.

Thus, StateUp was born—a research and data firm committed to helping governments and private sector actors lead through the compounding complexities of today’s world. Since its inception, StateUp has partnered with leading organisations throughout the world like the World Bank, the UNDP, the British Council, the UK Parliament, CAF Development Bank of Latin America, Visa, and many others making a tangible impact on policy and innovation worldwide.
