Traditional diplomacy is being challenged in the 21st century. Today, tech companies engage more people than any given nation, and some are responsible for decisions and impacts once limited to governments.
In order to stay at the forefront of tech developments, governments are taking on new forms of diplomacy to secure the rights of citizens, and to warrant safe and successful future development for their countries.
Join us to discover the various ways diplomacy has evolved in the Bay Area ecosystem, from consulates and tech ambassadors to dedicated innovation centers. DiploFoundation and the Geneva Internet Platform have mapped this diplomatic landscape and summarized their findings in a report that will be launched at the event. Government representatives from around the world will also pitch their models of “tech diplomacy.”
