The Krach Institute for Tech Diplomacy at Purdue is at the cutting edge in exploring how to advance our national security through fostering diplomatic and security partnerships with like-minded nations while leveraging the ingenuity of the private sector to advance the technology that will ensure that we can successfully compete with and overcome those who would pose a threat to our citizens, our allies and our friends. The Krach Institute fills a critical need at a time when newly emboldened autocratic governments aggressively attempt to undermine our institutions and threaten the very foundations of our democracy.
