Tech4Democracy is an institutional collaboration meant to empower the best ideas by providing world-class support, resources, and a platform for change. The support of the U.S. Department of State, combined with IE University’s global commitment to foster positive change through education, research provides the perfect opportunity for ideators to apply critical thinking skills to worldwide challenges that pose a threat to democracy. Given the current geopolitical landscape worldwide, it is more important than ever to take actions toward peace and stability. Technology is a powerful tool to help us do so. As Jeremy Cliffe stated at the event, “Technology, when it’s shaped from the better angels of our nature, can be very good indeed.”
