Women making technology work for them

Anne Kjaer Riechert

“I studied peace studies for two years, looking specifically at innovation and technology, so how you can leverage the power of technology in order to create better collaboration between people, and ultimately come up with solutions that can be implemented to create a better society.

“I think peace is such a fluffy term to many people. And my question during my studies was, how do you make peace tangible?

“So if you could quantify peace by using technology, I thought that would be really interesting, and very helpful to come up, essentially, with the argument and the right data, that peace is more profitable than war.

“If we could show, in a very, very concrete financial way in financial terms, how peace is profitable, I hope that would lead to a much better society.”
