Analyze & Understand
Systematically observe and assess technological and social developments.
Integrata Foundation Think Tank
Thinking what needs to be thought.
The think tank analyzes technological developments, identifies social trends and develops guidance for the humane use of IT and AI.
Humane use of IT requires that, on the one hand, technical and social aspects of the technology and, on the other hand, human values are well understood. Only then can solutions be developed that truly serve people.

What we do
The Think Tank
The Integrata Foundation think tank observes new technological developments and discusses their significance for people and society.
Its focus is open discourse, diverse perspectives and the question of how technology can serve people.
We explicitly distinguish ourselves from the American concept of a 'think tank', characterised by lobbying in government circles. We seek open discourse — with experts from academia, business and politics as well as with civil society.
Discuss & Position
In eight Special Interest Groups, we develop viewpoints — interdisciplinary, evidence-based and always with people in mind.
Publish & Engage
Bring insights into publications, events and public dialogue.
Complex technological questions rarely have simple answers. That is why the think tank seeks dialogue with academia, business, politics and civil society.
Special Interest Groups
Eight topic groups. People at the center.
Eight Special Interest Groups address different aspects of humane technology use. Diverse perspectives are explicitly part of the discourse.
