What is the
Political Tech Summit?

Our mission is to create a dual marketplace for products and ideas that connects political tech providers with decision-makers — a goal we began realising in our first edition, which welcomed a diverse audience, introduced interactive formats, and addressed the most pressing challenges in democracy and digital governance.
