The article discusses the significant increase in global defense spending, especially in the United States and Europe, driven by national security concerns. With U.S. defense budgets reaching nearly $895 billion and NATO countries boosting their investments, this acceleration reflects a global sense of insecurity, particularly due to threats from Russia, the Middle East, and the Indo-Pacific. Meanwhile, a new field called PeaceTech is emerging, which emphasizes the use of technology not just for warfare, but for preventing conflict and saving lives, highlighting the potential of technology in fostering peace and rebuilding communities.
PeaceTech emerges as a critical response to the rising defense spending, focusing not only on defense strategies but on the active prevention of conflict and violence.
As defense budgets surge globally, there is a pressing need for innovative approaches like PeaceTech that leverage technology to promote peace and stability.
