The #DigitalDiplomacy Podcast: Casper Klynge on #Techplomacy (1)

In this, the first episode of The #DigitalDiplomacy Podcast, we have talked to Casper Klynge, Denmark’s new Tech Ambassador based in Silicon Valley. Casper Klynge tells us about his first months in the new job as probably the World’s first Tech Ambassador (but not the last one – recently, after the recording of the interview, France has also named an Ambassador for Digital Affairs). Casper Klynge explains why Denmark has chosen to name a Tech Ambassador, and talks about how he sees diplomacy evolving in the coming years, what it can learn from the tech sector, what it in return can learn from diplomacy, and much more.

Om Podcasten

Welcome to The #DigitalDiplomacy Podcast, produced by the Embassy of Denmark in Madrid. Here we take a closer look at diplomacy in the digital age and how it is affected by the role that technology and digitalization is playing in the rapid changes that our societies are undergoing these years and will continue to undergo in the coming decades. This digital transformation on a global scale offers both opportunities, challenges and threats to our societies, and in each episode we will interview a relevant practitioner, observer, and analyst in and around the diplomatic world to get different perspectives on how this is changing the way that international relations are lead and the way diplomats work.
