A technology diplomacy program at Meridian

Our Work

Meridian Center for Technology, Innovation and Space

Securing America’s edge in the global tech race.

Why this matters

Diplomacy must evolve with the innovation landscape

The Meridian Center for Technology, Innovation, and Space connects leaders from government, business, and civil society to navigate the diplomacy of emerging technologies.

Frontier technologies and space exploration are transforming how nations collaborate, compete, and lead — shaping the very foundations of geopolitical power. But technology is borderless: its benefits and risks cross boundaries in ways no single country can govern alone.

The Center offers a neutral, trusted platform where experts can advance cooperation across sectors and borders — strengthening America’s innovation diplomacy.

Cross-border cooperation on emerging tech
