My Professor Maurizio Travaglini told me to "Write, Write, Write" - so here we go, some writing on Tech Diplomacy origins and Contemporary Practice! 📝 With huge appreciation, acknowledgement and respect to the pioneers, researchers and practitioners in this field, who I'm learning to discover through the existing literature. 🇩🇰 From Denmark's groundbreaking appointment of the world's first Tech Ambassador in 2017 to today's diverse global ecosystem of tech diplomatic initiatives, this field represents a fundamental shift in how we think about diplomacy in the digital age. Key highlights from my deep dive: • How Denmark's Casper Klynge pioneered a new diplomatic paradigm • Trump's recent $500B AI infrastructure push and its diplomatic implications • The inaugural UNESCO Tech Diplomacy Forum launch (June 2025) • Kenya's TechPlomacy Connective by Ambassador Philip Thigo, MBS Special acknowledgment to thought leaders like Eugenio V Garcia (Brazil's Tech Diplomat), whose definition beautifully captures tech diplomacy as "the conduct and practice of international relations, dialogue, and negotiations on global digital policy and emerging technological issues among states, the private sector, civil society, and other groups." 🌟 https://lnkd.in/evgR6Aci 👀 Martin Rauchbauer Corneliu Bjola Ilan Manor (PhD) Karin Aggestam Constance Duncombe Aadil Ahmad Shairgojri Pavlina Ittelson Jovan Kurbalija Mark Nitzberg John Zysman Gleb Papyshev Masaru YARIME Roxana Radu Huw Roberts #TechDiplomacy #DigitalGovernance #Innovation #InternationalRelations #AI #Diplomacy #GlobalPolicy Ali Hashem Dr. Saman Sarbazvatan Sarah Dagher Al Feghali Angela Naser Sïmon Saneback Alon Rozen Dr. Monalisa PANDA École des Ponts Business School ReTech Center WOMEN IN TECH ® Global Sally Hammoud Kathryn Rose ⭐
