The winner(s) will have the opportunity to attend the conference and meet other peacebuilders, policy makers, technology companies and PeaceTech experts.

The KluzPrize for PeaceTech powered by Kluz Ventues is organised in the context of the Global PeaceTech Hub based at EUI School of Transnational Governance in Florence, Italy. Artur Kluz, founder and CEO of Kluz Ventures, is an ardent believer that breakthrough technologies should be used to improve lives and build peace. The Global PeaceTech Hub brings together academics, practitioners, and stakeholders from the public and private sector, to foster and accelerate policy reflection on the use and regulation of technology to enhance peace and cooperation at the transnational level. The EUI School of Transnational Governance is a platform for innovation in public policy education and training and a forum for policy experimentation on governance beyond borders
