Mission: Innovation, Tech Leadership

Where Technology Meets Diplomacy to Drive Global Progress

EIT Hub Silicon Valley presents a pioneering programme designed to address a critical challenge in today's interconnected world: Diplomats and tech innovators must now operate in shared spaces, navigating global complexities together. Diplomats need more than just an understanding of technology - they must adopt the mindset of innovators and entrepreneurs. Similarly, startups and innovators must develop diplomatic acumen to effectively address global challenges. 

This unique, pilot programme blends diplomacy with cutting-edge innovation, equipping participants with the skills to lead in a world where the lines between technology, global affairs, and diplomacy are increasingly blurred. By mastering both fields, individuals will be empowered to drive meaningful global progress and shape the future of tech leadership.
