Founding Executive Director Ming T. underscores the importance of the Atlas in her video:

“As an active, global archive of tech governance, it is an easy, and comprehensive tool for companies, policymakers, and citizens, to stay abreast of how different societies are shaping the technology that shapes our lives at work and play.”

– Ming T., Tech For Good Institute

“It’s a unique resource, vibrant, super-user friendly, and I’d encourage you to check it out.”

– Jhalak Kakkar, Centre for Communication Governance in New Delhi (CCG)

“At Takshashila we teach technologists, entreprenuers, venture capitalists, and other others, to employ responsible strategy such that whatever they do is consistent with the constitutional values as well as business interests. And to do this really well on a global scale, they need a global roadmap, and a global Atlas. [And this Atlas] seems to be right in the sweet spot.”

— Nitin Pai, Director of the Takshashila Institution.

“Whether you are a policymaker, or an academic researcher, if you work on tech policy issues within industry or civil society, this [Atlas] is a phenomenal resource for you.”

– Limor Shmerling, Israel Tech Policy.

“I think those of us who work on digital issues know how important interoperability is, and interoperability is not only that of technical systems. It is also that of legal systems. And without tools like the Tech Policy Atlas, you can’t have interoperability.”

– Henri Verdier, Ambassador for Digital Affairs France.

“The Atlas is a valuable repository of technology law and regulation, and provides a simple overview as well as easy access to some of the most central pieces of legislation around the globe.”

– Heli Tiiramaa Klaar, ESMT.

“It really shows the kind of ways that different countries are making an effort to govern technology in the ways that brings about the best outcomes for the people in their countries”

– Prof. Madeline Carr, UCL.

“The Atlas will be a great resource for scholars and analysts working in the field of technology, but also for diplomats and anybody else interested in evidence-based policymaking on tech, cyber, and digital issues.”

– Patryk Pawlak, EU Institute for Security Studies.

“It will help researchers, policymakers, lawyers, and all those interested on the advancement of legal frameworks linked to cyberspace, digital environment, and emerging technologies.”

– Isaac Gerardo, Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

“The Global Tech Policy Atlas is an important step in mapping how countries around the world develop and update policy. This global repository of tech strategy, law, and regulation will be a key resource that supports information sharing and evidence-based decision-making.”

– Nathanial Fick, Ambassador at Large.
