You are invited to join us on Tuesday, September 21, 2021, for a breakfast meeting, featuring a conversation about Technologies for the Common Good between:

Frank McCourt, Chairman, and CEO of McCourt Global and founder of Project Liberty, a new tech + governance initiative that involves Sciences Po,

& Maëlle Gavet (‘02), CEO of Techstars, advocate for #EmpatheticTech, and author of Trampled by Unicorns.

They will discuss some of the problems that have been caused or exacerbated by our current tech infrastructure – from misinformation and polarization to privacy challenges – as well as the need for innovative solutions that prioritize people over platforms.

They will talk about Project Liberty, a tech + governance initiative and has the potential to create a new civic architecture for a digital world, restore trust, and ultimately build a healthier and more equitable society.
