Tampere Conversations 2022

11–12 AUGUST 2022Tampere Hall, Tampere, Finland

Digital Technologies: Opportunities and Threats for Security, Democracy and Economy

Technology is pervasive in the lives of people. Technology has all potential to strengthen our democracies and solve global social, environmental and economic challenges, but it can also bring unprecedented threats, for instance, in the form of cyber security attacks, induced financial instability and distorted information sharing as we have witnessed during the crisis on European soil in 2022.

Technology companies are gaining more foothold in defining our digital futures. Are democratically elected governments unable to have a say in these developments? Is this purely a commercial issue? What are the consequences for human rights and equality? How about defense, foreign and security policy? Geopolitical power balance? Are disruptive technologies taking the control away from democracies? What does this mean for our everyday life?

About the Event

A reminder after the very successful @treconversation: While we talk about how digital will save/destroy democracy, we forget that most of humanity lives in non-democratic societies which are MUCH more efficient at using technology for political reasons

“Before economics defined geopolitics, now geopolitics is increasingly defining what is possible in economics” said General David Petraeus. Well said. Govs and businesses must reassess risk mapping, rethink supply chains and find reliable allies. #tampereconversations
