TECH DIPLOMACY: TECH COMPANIES AS POWER BROKERS IN THE DIGITAL AGE
As tech companies gain more influence over geopolitics, the diplomatic community has begun to engage with them as if they were nation states. Join us for a panel discussion surrounding Tech Diplomacy in Korea and the United States. The audience will hear the latest research on this emerging form of modern diplomacy including: how tech diplomacy has evolved since its inception in 2017 and how Korea is engaging with tech companies at home and abroad. This panel was moderated by the Pacific Council Tech Diplomacy Fellow, Patricia Gruver, author of the newly-released report. This event, in partnership with the Korea Foundation, featured Mr. Martin Rauchbauer, Former Austrian Tech Ambassador and Mr. Jaehoon Chung, Director of Science, ICT, and Economic Affairs at the Korean Consulate in San Francisco.
