Professor Corneliu Bjola has been included in the 2026 Tech Diplomacy Global 50 by the Tech Diplomacy Global Institute, alongside many remarkable leaders from around the world.

Technology has emerged as one of the defining drivers of change in world politics, reshaping power dynamics, redefining sovereignty, and fundamentally altering how states interact. From AI governance frameworks to quantum computing's implications for security, the questions we're grappling with today will determine the structure of international relations for decades to come.

Professor Bjola’s current research focuses exactly on the intersection between emerging technologies, tech geopolitics, and diplomacy. These are not simply technical questions, but strategic and diplomatic priorities that require new forms of international cooperation and statecraft.
