<h3 class="h3_desc">Workshop recap</h3>

‍

<p class="p_desc">During this DIGISET x Public Spaces interactive panel, participants explore how democratic technology provides an alternative and what it means in practice. What if your organisation had more control over its digital tools, data, and infrastructure? What if technology didn’t just serve efficiency—but actively supported your mission, values, and community?</p>

‍

<p class="p_desc">Today’s digital landscape is largely shaped by a small number of powerful tech companies, creating dependencies that affect autonomy, privacy, and long-term resilience. Democratic technology focuses on:</p>

‍

<p class="p_desc">- Collective ownership and governance instead of centralized control</p>

<p class="p_desc">- Technology that serves the public good over profit</p>

<p class="p_desc">- Building towards digital sovereignty and autonomy</p>
