Session 6: Where do we go from here?
This final session will focus on what we need to do individually and collectively as the tech industry, civil society, multilateral organisations, and governments to make tech a tool for democracy and human rights, while also confronting any challenges that may arise. Learning from past mistakes, what do we need to do differently, and how?
The session opens with the Danish Minister for Foreign Affairs, Mr. Jeppe Kofod, giving a short recap of the conference: What are the most important takeaways from the conference sessions; why the Tech for Democracy initiative matters; and hopes for the way forward. The subsequent panel focuses on how to take action and committing to make tech work for, not against, democracy and human rights.
