We hope to explore new platforms to reach out to citizens who are concerned about the future of digital spaces and move forward the necessary changes the industry requires.
The IO Foundation is happy to announce that its Malaysian branch has joined PIKOM, The National Tech Association of Malaysia.
We are excited about exploring how to strengthen Malaysia's tech sector while protecting citizen's data and rights through our BHR in Tech and TechUp initiatives.

Our Founder & CEO Jean F. Queralt was invited to participate at the Paris Peace Forum 2022.
Though his intervention was brief because of time constrains at The IO Foundation we always want to make the case for the need to bring technologists into policy conversations as they are the #NextGenRightsDefenders
