The 2025 Kluz Prize for PeaceTech: Building the PeaceTech Marketplace

At a time of increasing global instability—marked by conflict, polarization, and technological disruption—the world needs more than defense tech. It needs PeaceTech: technologies that actively foster peace, save lives, reduce harm, and rebuild trust.

From AI-powered early warning systems to digital infrastructure to coordinate aid to space-based technologies to understand resource scarcity to drone systems for demining, technologies can support peace before, during, and after a conflict.

For the past three years, the Kluz Prize for PeaceTech has celebrated tech entrepreneurs and innovators daring enough to design for peace. For the 2025 Prize, we are seeking tech entrepreneurs, engineers, coders, venture capital investors, innovators and peace builders who are advancing the PeaceTech ecosystem.

This year’s event marks the next chapter, and will include:

• Presentations from The 2025 Kluz Prize for PeaceTech winners on what it means to invest in PeaceTech.
• A high-level panel discussion on how to unlock the PeaceTech opportunity—moving from isolated prototypes to investable, scalable ventures.
• Finally it will include the formal launch of a new global platform for PeaceTech innovators.
• The event will conclude with a networking reception.

Winners and speakers will be announced in September 2025.
