In 2000, Emil Eifrem co-founded Neo4j after conceiving the first property graph model on a napkin during a flight, leading to the creation of the world's first graph database. As detailed in his blog post, the impact of Neo4j has extended beyond business, with the graph technology being used to address global challenges such as climate change, cancer research, and financial crime. The newly launched Graphs4Good program aims to support projects that leverage graph technology for social good, with past successes including investigative journalism projects like the Panama Papers and data-driven research in fields like medicine and space exploration. Neo4j's community-driven approach has fostered collaborations with organizations like NASA and the German Center for Diabetes Research, while initiatives like data science camps for women highlight the company's commitment to expanding the role of technology in positive societal change.
