The global order is at a breaking point. From the rise of generative AI to the weaponization of data and the race for quantum supremacy, the "disruptive technologies" of yesterday are the primary geopolitical tools of today.
The question for leaders is no longer if technology will change diplomacy, but how we can govern a world where innovation moves faster than regulation.
To answer this, a unique ๐„๐ฎ๐ซ๐จ๐ฉ๐ž๐š๐ง ๐’๐ญ๐ซ๐š๐ญ๐ž๐ ๐ข๐œ ๐€๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ข๐š๐ง๐œ๐ž has been formed. We are proud to announce a high-level consortium bringing together three of the continent's most influential centers of expertise: ๐Ÿ“ The Swiss Academy for Leadership and Sustainability (Switzerland) ๐Ÿ“ The Brussels Institute for Diplomacy, Geopolitics and Peace Studies (Belgium) ๐Ÿ“ The European Institute of International Studies (Sweden)

Our upcoming workshop, "Rethinking Diplomacy in the Age of Disruptive Technologies," is designed to bridge the gap between technical innovation and international policy. By integrating the unique DNA of three iconic cities, we offer a 360-degree perspective on global governance:

As the worldโ€™s foremost hub for the UN and international organizations, Geneva provides the ethical and humanitarian foundation. Here, we explore how global cooperation remains possible in a fragmented digital landscape.

As the regulatory engine of the European Union and the center of NATOโ€™s security architecture, Brussels is where policy meets power. Participants gain direct insight into how technology is being coded into international law and security strategy.

Commonly known as the "Silicon Valley of Europe," Stockholm represents the future. From ethical AI to green tech, Swedenโ€™s ecosystem provides the practical "lab" for understanding how disruptive tech can be harnessed for sustainable leadership.
