What is ALMA?

Alternative Local Models Australia. Not a product. A practiced method for valuing Indigenous and community knowledge while ensuring those knowledge holders control access and benefit from its use.

Traditional Research (Extractive)

  • Universities extract data
  • Communities get nothing
  • Knowledge locked behind paywalls
  • No ongoing revenue

ALMA (Regenerative)

  • Communities control their data
  • 30% revenue flows to knowledge holders
  • Open access intelligence
  • Ongoing value from citations
