Upcoming Events

#Road2IGF: Data, Sovereignty, Democracy and a Global South Perspective

Join us on November 25, 2019 at the IGF’s warm up event #Road2IGF: Data, Sovereignty, Democracy and an African Perspective hosted by the Global Innovation Gathering (GIG) and the United Nations Association of Germany.

Questions covered will include “How do we ensure people and democracies are informed and empowered through data driven systems rather than exploited and undermined?” and “What infrastructures and data protection policies do we need?”

The event aims at giving a bigger platform for civil society representatives from the global south at this year’s IGF. Therefore, the event is also supported by Konnektiv, which often collaborates with GIG due to the shared mission of making development cooperation more open and more innovative.
