Building a For-profit Peacebuilding Sector: Tech and Beyond

Title: Building a For-profit Peacebuilding Sector: Tech and Beyond 

This session explores the emerging PeaceTech sector, reflecting on lessons from past efforts—including the Peace Tech Lab—and why the time is ripe now despite previous setbacks. Anchored in general themes and a case study of Mission Transcend, the discussion will highlight how technology and innovation can be harnessed for peace. If accepted, the session will also feature an invited participant from outside the peacebuilding field to broaden perspectives and spark cross-sector dialogue. 

Speakers: 

• Chip Hauss, Senior Fellow and Emeritus Board Member, Alliance for Peacebuilding 
• Ola Mojajer, Founder and CEO, Transcend, an AI-driven peacebuilding startup 4
