A podcast where we explore reigniting multilateralism through technology. Join as we delve into global issues and discuss how Europe can lead the charge in shaping a future where technology aligns with the principles of multilateralism and global governance. We aim to analyse key areas where cooperation can address challenges like the intensifying rivalry between important geopolitical actors, growing global inequality, pandemics, and information disorder. Tune in for insightful conversations with experts as we navigate the intersection of geopolitics, technology, and multilateral solutions.
