Global Startup Awards will be present in over 60 countries of 3 continents by the end of 2018. Show less

The World Leadership Alliance-Club de Madrid (WLA-CdM) is organizing its 2019 Policy Dialogue in partnership for a timely discussion on the implications of digital transformation and Artificial Intelligence (AI) for democracy. The Policy Dialogue on AI and democracy seeks to move the conversation on AI beyond tech and into the democratic governance arena. The use of AI may pose a challenge to democracy, but, if handled correctly, it can also bring more and better democracy. Democratic governments simply cannot afford to lag behind. The digital is political and therefore requires a political response: How can we anticipate and prepare for the fast-changing world of AI and reap the benefits while countering the risks it poses to democracies?
WLA-CdM seeks to mobilise political will around a Call to Action offering an effective policy response to support AI as a driver for stronger democracies while countering its potential risks. To this end, the Policy Dialogue will offer a unique platform for multi-stakeholder conversations involving governments, academic institutions and think tanks, tech companies, and civil society, as well as 35+ democratic former Heads of State and Government who are Members of WLA-CdM.

The MENTOR Project is a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that was created to shed light on the benefits of mentoring. We know the benefits mentees receive from finding a good mentor. But did you know that mentors receive as many and often more benefits from mentoring than their mentees? Mentors report feelings of fulfillment, legacy, meaning productivity, and value. They feel connected to the world in a deeper way than before they became a mentor.

Many of the most accomplished, brightest experts in every field of work have a desire to give back to the next generation, but they don't know how to get involved. We believe in the value of mentorship, and passing the torch of knowledge, information, innovation, culture, values and inspiration to the next generation. Not only do we change ourselves when we mentor, but we change the lives of our mentees, and we change the world. Every mentor makes a permanent impression, and the legacy lives on. Show less
