About RIWI
RIWI stands for “real-time interactive world-wide intelligence”. RIWI is a global technology company that provides access to fast-changing consumer and citizen sentiment in all countries. We break through the noise to find the truth about what people really think, want and observe – by reaching the most diverse audiences, including the disengaged and quiet voices who do not typically answer surveys or express their views on social media. Our patented, cloud-based, real-time and interactive platform provides our clients the ability to find a broad base of respondents, deliver surveys to a wide audience so clients can make faster and improved decisions. Our clients can grow their earnings or investments, assess consumer and citizen behaviour, monitor and predict various issues and trends around the world, message test and evaluate the impact of their interventions. We have collected data on a variety of subject areas such as the economic impact of COVID-19 in high, middle and low-income nations; income inequality; the challenges faced by migrants and refugees across the globe; corruption and bribery; online gender-based violence; changing LGBTQ rights; and misinformation. RIWI works with industry-leading organisations such as Bank of America Securities, the US Department of State, the United Nations World Food Programme, and The World Bank.
