Global Actions
Pax Technologica is committed to improving the adoption of exponential technologies, particularly artificial intelligence, in emerging geographies of the Global South. These regions are characterised by rapid economic development and technological advancement, yet they often face significant challenges, from social inequality to environmental degradation. Given that both the risks and opportunities are amplified in these areas, it is essential for technology adoption to be carefully considered to ensure a positive, lasting impact. Pax Technologica envisions a future where emerging geographies leverage technology to make leapfrog advancements, fostering greater well-being, social harmony, and a more inclusive, peaceful future for all.
Pax Technologica's return to Africa took place at GIBS Business School
in Johannesburg from 13th to 15th April 2026. Working in partnership with
AICE Africa, we supported the delivery of the programme Leading Enterprise
AI Organisations: When Knowing Is No Longer Power, a three-day immersive
intervention at one of Africa's most respected executive education institutions.
The inaugural salon of Pax Technologica took place in Florence from May 2nd to 5th, 2024. The event brought together pioneers and visionaries to explore the appropriate adoption of exponential technology in emerging geographies, with a focus on Africa. The salon aimed to validate our assumptions about appropriate technology adoption, outline actionable steps for the road to Davos 2025, and initiate the formation of a dedicated task force to support emerging regions. Additionally, we hoped to create a memorable and enriching experience for all participants, fostering a sense of community and shared purpose.
We are pleased to report that Pax Technologica has emerged from stealth mode, making its first public appearance at the World Economic Forum in Davos, held from 20th to 24th January 2025. Davos is a polarising place. Some see it as a forum where people come together with a genuine commitment to solving global challenges, where discussions are action-oriented and driven by a sense of collective responsibility rather than hierarchical thinking or self-interest.
