The why of our mission
As the world's digital transformation proceeds at breakneck speed, the potential for transforming international development and cooperation is immense. But bridging the divide between the technology and international cooperation sectors is essential to maximize the benefits while minimizing the risks.
In the last decades, the digital transformation of the world has greatly accelerated. While weakened privacy, exacerbated inequalities and increased fake news are major concerns for our societies, we are confident that the benefits outweight the risks. The digital transformation of the international development and cooperation sector opens the way for endless new possibilities: streamlining procedures, handling large amounts of data, automating repetitive tasks and much more. In short, it represents a unique opportunity to rethink many outdated processes of the sector and increase the impact of its operations.
The tech industry and the international development and cooperation sector have long operated in separate spheres, with distinct challenges and their own terminology. These different perspectives can lead to misunderstandings and misaligned expectations, hindering effective partnerships and problem-solving. Overcoming this divide requires increased dialogue and efforts to align objectives and find common ground.
Our mission is clear: to bridge the divide by offering a combination of expertise in both sectors. To put our ideas into motion, we actively seek new and innovative ways to collaborate. By applying digital technologies, we aim to enhance the impact of development and cooperation initiatives addressing critical global issues.
