In his presentation, Dr. Korkmaz examined the extent to which data-driven innovation and new technologies can empower people on the move by looking at decision-making processes by the UN, donor countries, and NGOs as well as the role of global tech corporations in development studies, and insights from the surveillance-survival strategies debate.
