To accomplish its mission, the Krach Institute offers Tech Diplomacy training to business leaders, technologists, and the global foreign policy community; is building the Global Trusted Tech Network to bring together like-minded countries, companies and civil society to operate by a shared set of trust principles; and is guiding the creation of Tech Diplomacy strategies and solutions that can be used to prevent authoritarian domination of vital tech sectors.
