Krach Institute and Deloitte Extend Collaboration to Advance Trusted Leadership in a Tech-Driven World

Washington, DC — The Krach Institute for Tech Diplomacy at Purdue today announced an expanded strategic partnership with Deloitte that reinforces each’s commitment to advancing trusted technology and equipping leaders with the tools they need to navigate an increasingly complex and global digital landscape.  

As part of this collaboration, Deloitte and the Krach Institute will co-host high-level strategic roundtables with policymakers, industry leaders, and innovators; broaden global access to the Institute’s Tech Diplomacy Academy, the world’s first online education platform dedicated to training leaders across sectors in the strategic dimensions of critical and emerging technologies; and deepen Deloitte’s engagement across the Purdue University ecosystem by exploring new initiatives across workforce and education, business sustainability, technology development and more. Together, the organizations will leverage the Krach Institute’s global platform and Deloitte’s AI leadership and engineering experience to accelerate the adoption of trusted technology and strengthen digital resilience.

Deloitte recently collaborated with the Tech Diplomacy Academy to launch a free online course, Leading in an Interconnected Landscape. Designed to equip participants with the tools to navigate a rapidly evolving technology environment, the course explores how to anticipate change, manage risks, and drive progress across complex, interconnected emerging technology ecosystems.

“This partnership is about accelerating the deployment of trusted technology,” said Michelle Giuda, CEO of the Krach Institute for Tech Diplomacy at Purdue. “By combining the Institute’s network of governments, companies, and innovators with Deloitte’s expertise in developing real-world solutions, we’ll help organizations worldwide ensure technology advances freedom, security, and prosperity.”

“Deloitte US believes the future of technology will be defined not just by what it enables, but by the trust we embed in our innovations,” said Jason Salzetti, US Chair and Chief Executive Officer of Deloitte Consulting LLP. “This collaboration reflects our commitment to help prepare the next generation of leaders to navigate a rapidly evolving digital world, equipping them with the tools, insights, and integrity they need to drive progress.”

This collaboration underscores the organizations’ shared mission: to engineer a future grounded in innovation, integrity, and trust. It combines Deloitte’s industry leadership and engineering skills with the Institute’s role as the architect of Tech Diplomacy to serve as a catalyst in advancing trusted technology solutions and unlocking greater potential.
