IFPIM Tech
People need independent, verified and timely information to make decisions about their lives and communities.
Emerging technologies are reshaping how people get information, but they also threaten to concentrate power, value, and visibility in the hands of a few.

Securing the future of reliable information amid
technological upheaval
We work with partners around the world to ensure that AI strengthens—rather than undermines—the delivery of public interest information across languages, geographies, and platforms. Through research, coalition-building and tech interventions, we strive to catalyze a reimagined information infrastructure. One that puts knowledge in the hands of the many.
Bridging journalism and tech, globally
IFPIM Tech brings together leaders in journalism, technology, and policy from the Global South and beyond to build a vision for an economically resilient information ecosystem.
By fostering cross-sector collaboration and supporting local solutions to global challenges, we seek to break down silos and enable scalable solutions to emerge.

Our work
IFPIM Tech operates globally, with a focus on building partnerships in emerging markets in the Global South, especially Brazil, Indonesia and South Africa. As the largest markets in Latin America, Southeast Asia and Africa, these three countries play an important role in shaping the future of information and technology in their regions and beyond. We work across three pillars:
- Research and Thought Leadership
IFPIM Tech and regional partners are examining how emerging technologies are reshaping the economics of public interest information. Through research, policy briefs, and case studies, these insights are documenting the impact of interventions across the globe, identifying solutions, and helping to build a vision for a reimagined information ecosystem.
- Advocacy and Coalition Building
In 2025, the CTRL+J conference series laid the groundwork for a Global South-led coalition to develop shared agendas to secure the future of reliable information amid technological upheaval. Building on this momentum, we are working with regional partners to deepen global coordination and drive homegrown solutions.
- Enabling a New “Build” Agenda
By connecting information producers with mission-aligned technologists in markets often overlooked by major tech companies, we are developing AI systems that incentivize reliable, timely, and locally relevant public interest information in a diversity of languages.
