Democracy Tech Entrepeneurship Fellowship

Our fellowship is established against the backdrop that all technological innovations can embrace democracy as a design and business principle.

The fellowship is a four-months virtual and in-person program that seeks to equip Democracy Tech entrepreneurs from emerging democracies with the know-how of starting and scaling successful, democratically driven ventures. The fellowship is driven by three key elements; collective learning, peer to peer mentoring, and building strong networks among entrepreneurs.

Copenhagen Charter

Democracy faces pressures at home and around the globe. A post-pandemic world needs to protect principles of freedom, including holding regular free and fair elections, secure full political rights for all citizens, protect free expression and association, safeguard freedom to practice and express religious faith or nonbelief, and an independent judiciary.

We urge that an alliance of democracies coalesce. Opportunities arise through the UK’s G7 Presidency and its outreach to other democracies, and under President Biden’s commitment to convene a global Summit for Democracy.

These opportunities must be seized. This is why we, as democracy organisations and individuals, propose three specific areas for returning democratic multilateralism to its ascendancy.

Creating an Alliance of Democracies

We aim to build a worldwide movement for an Alliance of Democracies consisting of democratic countries globally and among democratic forces everywhere.

We work actively with governments, young leaders in democratic countries as well as democracy activists from non-free societies and emerging democracies.

Democracy Perception Index

The Democracy Perception Index (DPI) is the world’s largest annual study on how people perceive democracy, conducted by Latana in collaboration with the Alliance of Democracies. The 2021 edition offers an unprecedented comparison of global attitudes towards democracy since the beginning of the COVID crisis. Results are based on nationally representative interviews with over 53,000 respondents from 53 countries conducted between February 24th and April 14th 2021.

The DPI was published ahead of the 2021 Copenhagen Democracy Summit to support the discussion on the global state of democracy.
