Our focus on Global Resilience
Global Resilience is at the core of our vision for the future. As the world faces an era of growing instability, resilience requires us to build more durable and dynamic systems across our most critical industries, from manufacturing and defense, to healthcare and energy. A key component to responsibly leveraging these transformative technologies is effective public policies. This requires increased collaboration, coordination, and mutual respect between the private and public sectors. It also requires technologists and innovators to see their societal role as bigger than growth.
Our Key Priorities
To promote policies that advance global resilience through transformative technologies, we are focusing on the following priorities:
1. Collaborate with governments to shape public policies to enable emerging technologies and start-ups to better meet the need to build humanity's resilience;
2. Forge durable partnerships and networks with government, NGOs, academics, and third-party experts around the theme of global resilience;
3. Provide education for governments regarding the most transformative technologies; and
4. Create public policy guidance and tools for start-ups to grow and innovate responsibly.
The GCI Team
