Prosperity Partnerships
Prosperity partnerships are collaborative endeavors between businesses, governments, and civil society aimed at harnessing technological innovations to drive economic growth, social well-being, and sustainable development. In an era marked by rapid technological advancements, these partnerships have gained paramount importance. They foster cross-sectoral cooperation to address complex challenges such as equitable access to digital infrastructure, upskilling the workforce for tech-intensive jobs, and promoting ethical practices in areas like artificial intelligence and biotechnology.
For instance, a collaboration between tech companies, educational institutions, and governments could establish training programs to reskill workers for roles in AI development. Both the United States and China have each developed their own strategies- China’s Belt and Road Initiative fosters economic ties with infrastructure projects across the world. The U.S. pursues partnerships with allies like South Kora and Japan through international organizations like the World Trade Organization (WTO) and the International Monetary Fund (IMF).

Commissioner for Prosperity Partnerships
Tech security has an important prosperity dimension. Technology can improve people’s lives and accelerate countries’ progress when used for good. It can also be a tool to rob people of their freedom through tech surveillance, for economic espionage, or for intellectual property theft. The prosperity subcommission will propose concrete ways to harness tech for human flourishing.
