Techplomacy

At just 33 years old, Anne Marie Engtoft Meldgaard is appointed tech ambassador with a global mandate, taking on the world’s most powerful tech companies – from Silicon Valley to the UN – pushing for regulation, accountability, and digital rights. Everything from democracy and freedom of speech to social cohesion is under pressure from new technologies. Denmark was the first country in the world to appoint a tech ambassador, and in that role, Meldgaard must navigate a minefield of interests.
