The #DigitalDiplomacy Podcast: Casper Klynge on #Techplomacy (1)

In this, the first episode of The #DigitalDiplomacy Podcast, we have talked to Casper Klynge, Denmark’s new Tech Ambassador based in Silicon Valley. Casper Klynge tells us about his first months in the new job as probably the World’s first Tech Ambassador (but not the last one – recently, after the recording of the interview, France has also named an Ambassador for Digital Affairs). Casper Klynge explains why Denmark has chosen to name a Tech Ambassador, and talks about how he sees diplomacy evolving in the coming years, what it can learn from the tech sector, what it in return can learn from diplomacy, and much more. After listening to the interview, you can learn more about Casper Klynge and his work here: http://techamb.um.dk/ . And you can follow him on Twitter at @DKTechAmb or Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/DKTechAmb/ . Thank you for listening to this episode! If you liked it, please share it with others that you think could be interested. And please give us a (nice) review on iTunes or Soundcloud, so that we can start getting traction and reach many more people around the world who are interested in the world of diplomacy and international relations in the 21st Century. We’ll be back soon with a new interview with interesting perspectives on the way diplomacy is changing, evolving, and adapting to the disruptive changes our societies and the relationship between them are undergoing these years.The #DigitalDiplomacy Podcast is produced by the Embassy of Denmark in Spain.Music by Bebeto, “Ambient Loop” ((CC) /https://freesound.org/people/bebeto/sounds/554/).
