The Invasion of Ukraine: Impacts and How Silicon Valley Can Help
Tomorrow—Thursday, Mar 3, 2022 at 9:00 AM PST.—we’re holding a briefing to address: “The Invasion of Ukraine: Impacts and How Silicon Valley Can Help”.
Featuring discussions between Polina Sinovets, Head of Odessa Center for Nonproliferation (OdCNP); Yulia Bezvershenko, fellow of the Ukrainian Emerging Leaders Program at the Center on Democracy, Development and the Rule of Law, Stanford University; Anna Bulakh, Technology Ethics & Policies, International Security & Resilience Expert; and Ahmad Thomas, SVLG, CEO—it will be a chance to learn about the crisis from Ukrainian academics with unparalleled understanding of nuclear proliferation, threat analysis, politics and culture.
We will investigate the new challenges we face, and try to provide information you can use to formulate strategies for providing aid and services on both business and corporate levels.
As the first SVLG Access event it is open to all SVLG members and the public alike. Please go here to register and reserve your spot. https://loom.ly/Ool-OZI
