SUMMARY:Why and How Should Countries Engage in Tech Diplomacy? (WebDebate #60)
DESCRIPTION:Event description\nThe practice of tech diplomacy has been on the rise since the appointment of the first tech ambassador in 2017. Tech diplomacy includes new forms of diplomatic representation and new topics on the diplomatic agenda. It also reflects a changing geopolitical environment. \nTech diplomacy has brought about new venues for engagement and the involvement of new actors\, and makes clear that countries and tech companies need to adopt new approaches to current digital policy issues. \nDiploFoundation has published its report on Tech Diplomacy Practice in the San Francisco Bay Area\, which is the most up-to-date mapping of tech diplomacy in the Bay Area. The report looks at specific exchanges between diplomatic representations and tech companies\, and maps the existing benefits and challenges of tech diplomacy. \nIn WebDebate #60\, we will: \n\nHave a close look at the main findings of the report\nHear from various tech diplomacy practitioners from the Bay Area and Global South\nAsk what benefits and challenges countries from the Global South face when aiming to engage in tech diplomacy\nInvestigate the role of tech diplomacy hubs beyond the Bay Area\n\nJoin us for an informed discussion on the emerging practice of tech diplomacy. \nTuesday\, 6 June\, 09:00 EDT (13:00 UTC | 15:00 CEST | 18:30 IST) \nRegistrations are open \nRegister now!×Participants\n\nMs Thato Morokong\, Assistant Director\, Africa Multilateral Cooperation\, Department of Science and Innovation (DSI)\, South Africa\nMs Beatrice Ferrari\, Director\, International Affairs\, Canton of Geneva\nMr Martin Rauchbauer\, Former Austrian Tech Ambassador in Silicon Valley; Founder & Co-Director\, Tech Diplomacy Network\nMs Pavlina Ittelson\, Executive Director\, Diplo US\nMr Yannick Heiniger\, Consulate General of Switzerland in San Francisco\nDr Katharina Höne\, Director of Research\, DiploFoundation (moderator)\n\nThis event is organised in partnership with Swissnex in San Francisco and République et Canton de Genève. \n \n\nAbout our WebDebates\nOur WebDebates on the future of diplomacy are live-streamed on the first Tuesday of every month.
