• A space for global cooperation that is dedicated to co-designing policy frameworks and governance protocols that accelerate the application of science and technology in the global public interest.
• A “do-tank” versus a think tank in that partner governments and companies will co-design and pilot frameworks and protocols for rapid iteration and scale.
