BIG NEWS: The U.S. Department of State has selected the Krach Institute and Purdue University as one of its exclusive partners to place officers and diplomats in a 1-year training program in Indiana and Washington, DC. We are honored and can't wait to welcome this group of tech diplomats. If you are a State Department specialist who wants to deepen your expertise, a generalist who's curious about Tech Diplomacy, or something in between, please DM Maryum Saifee for next steps. Applications are open now through Nov 12th for a term start in August 2025. Apply now! #BoilerUp
Upskiling people who shape #policy in #tech literacy is both an urgent priority, but also an exciting one. We’ve had many tech revolutions throughout history, but the speed and scale of the one we are living through now could be one of the most consequential. In late October, applications will open to send U.S. Department of State diplomats (both civil 13-15 and foreign service specialists and generalists 02-01) to be embedded for a year in institutions across the country to get smart on tech policy — ranging from cybersecurity, digital economy, AI, quantum, biotech, and beyond. The term would start August 2025 and the duration is 12 months. Earlier this summer, we filled positions at The Aspen Institute, Boise State University, Council on Foreign Relations, Georgia Institute of Technology, The George Washington University, and the University of Pittsburgh. The following opportunities remain: Arizona State University, Columbia | SIPA, Krach Institute for Tech Diplomacy at Purdue, Purdue University, The University of Georgia, The University of Tulsa, Indiana University Bloomington, and Stanford University. If you or you know of a State Department colleague who meets the eligibility criteria above and is interested in this opportunity, DM me and I can send instructions on the application process. ** And you don’t have to be skilled in tech issues to apply. This program is open to generalists with curiosity, specialists who want to deepen expertise, and everything in between.

NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang recently said, "We have to defer all policymaking to the administration." In her interview with Caroline Hyde and Edward Ludlow of Bloomberg Television, Krach Institute CEO Michelle Giuda made a point that CEOs are also stakeholders in national security: "American CEOs, and tech CEOs in particular, need to make sure that we are advancing our tech competitiveness—at the same time, we are not giving that technology to our adversaries who are dedicated to our demise."

"Just as we have to scrutinize which countries we're sending F-35s to, we also have to scrutinize where we're sending our most advanced chips to, which also power our F-35s. These aren't hair dryers we're talking about." - Krach Institute CEO Michelle Giuda spoke to Caroline Hyde and Edward Ludlow of Bloomberg Television about technology's central role at the intersection of prosperity and national security.

Thought leadership from our Chairman Keith Krach and Advisory Council member Jon Pelson, whose article about the Chinese Communist Party’s weaponization of Huawei was cited by Sen. Marco Rubio. ⬇️

Appreciate Sen. Marco Rubio citing Jon Pelson’s and my article about Huawei in his new Miami Herald op-ed. Sen. Rubio rightly observes that Huawei is not just another telco. It’s a tool of the Chinese Communist Party’s global surveillance state. During the Trump Administration, we assembled a Clean Network of 60 countries, 200+ telcos, and many industry leading firms to exclude high-risk, untrusted 5G suppliers, like Huawei, because they posed a serious national security risk. As a result, the company lost about $30B. That’s why Beijing is spending tens of billions to prop it up. As Sen. Rubio points out, it’s “not a reflection of Huawei’s ingenuity,” but rather its importance to the CCP’s strategy for global dominance.
