On 20 September, Aapti Institute and Robert Bosch Stiftung GmbH organised an in-person, closed-door event in New York on the sidelines of UNGA’s Summit of the Future event. The event brought together stakeholders from civil society organisations, academia, private sector and multilateral organisations working at the migration x technology intersection, to uncover the challenges and pathways to build a migrant-oriented, rights-preserving and equitable digital ecosystem.
We set out the discussion by broadly highlighting 3 main objectives:

1. Examining the intersection of digital rights, data rights and migrant rights
2. Building bridges among stakeholders in the migration ecosystem, identifying shared challenges
3. Encouraging community-oriented innovation of technologies in the migration ecosystem

These were anchor points for the discussion, and the detailed readback below cover main highlights.
