The Tech We Want is four-year, $8 million portfolio of work focused on connecting and empowering a new wave of leaders, companies, and technologies that are built on inclusivity, mutualism, sustainability, accountability, and responsible innovation.
The Tech We Want program is designed to build community, infrastructure, and a shared narrative in support of technologists, thought leaders, and investors who are pursuing healthy alternatives to the dominant tech culture. To realize this vision, Omidyar Network has engaged a diverse group of entrepreneurs, funders, thinkers, creatives, and builders whose ideas, models, and networks have changed the way many think tech should be built and how the system should operate. The first 15 “Luminaries” will co-create a collective vision for ethical technology, systems, and economies that generate value for all stakeholders, including technology creators, consumers, workers, communities, and the planet. Through this program, Omidyar Network hopes examples of what we—as an industry and society—want to reward and correct will emerge, and philanthropy can work in coalition to support their vision, innovation, and collective well-being.
The Global Coalition for Tech Justice is a newly formed global movement to ensure Big Tech plays its role in protecting elections and citizens’ rights and freedoms across the world, particularly in the global majority where companies – Meta/Facebook, Google/YouTube, Twitter, TikTok et al – have been negligent in dealing with the impacts of their social media and messaging products.
