Welcome to
Next Generation Democracy
Our purpose is to educate us all and leverage new technologies to support our democracy
Our purpose
Our global society is undergoing tremendous change. People are connected like never before, life expectancy is increasing, and new technological inventions which up until yesterday were seen as science fiction, are made available to the general public every day.
It is however not all positive. In the western world the democratic way in which we run society is under pressure as nationalism and populism is on the rise, while the trust that the populations have in politicians and political systems is decreasing. The challenges are amplified as a lot of people feel that they are not receiving their share of the wealth that is created, and that the technological developments that should be empowering them are instead leaving them behind.
We wish to turn this development around. At Next Generation Democracy, we use technology to make democracy work for all of us.
