DEMOCRACY 2.0
GRANDCHALLENGE
Pushing the frontiers of democracy-supporting technologies

We therefore need to strongly develop democracy-supporting technologies.

Soon, we will be welcoming all proposals from the best teams globally that can provide solutions to one of the 6 Challenges listed above.
We will then finetune specific JEDI Challenges with highly-ambitious metrics for success, that will be launched in the coming months.
