The Tech Diplomacy Institute

The World’s Premier Institute Bridging Technology and Global Policy

Technology is reshaping global power dynamics and transforming international relations at unprecedented speed. The Tech Diplomacy Institute stands at this critical intersection as the world’s premier institution bridging technology and global policy.

Established in collaboration with UNESCO, we are the first global platform to invite nation states to appoint Tech Ambassadors and unite them under one neutral, multilateral forum. We advise governments on digital transformation, convene global leaders to shape international standards, build institutional capacity, and produce research that defines the future of technology governance.

The Tech Diplomacy Institute is the trusted neutral ground where the world’s digital future is negotiated, shaped, and secured.
