To foster peace, reduce conflict, and safeguard human dignity.

The Prize is dedicated to individuals, organizations, and initiatives — particularly those from the younger generation and the tech community — recognizing their achievements in peacebuilding, peacemaking, peacekeeping, and peace enforcement.
In Their Words

“The Kluz Prize for PeaceTech put Common Space in front of an incredible community who became partners, advisors, and believers. The Prize not only validated but accelerated our mission and helped us secure our first major funding. It also reminded us that building a satellite for humanity is, at its core, a peacebuilding act.”

“Receiving the Kluz Prize for PeaceTech was a deeply meaningful recognition for Aerobotics7 and our mission to use technology to protect lives in some of the world's most dangerous environments. The Prize helped amplify our work, connected us with a global community committed to tech for human security, and reinforced our belief that advanced technology can and should be built in service of humanity. To this year's applicants, my advice is stay mission-driven, build with urgency, and never underestimate the power of technology when it is guided by purpose.”

“Receiving the Kluz Prize for PeaceTech was a meaningful milestone for Magnolia. Beyond the recognition, it increased the visibility of our work and connected us to a global network of innovators using technology to address some of society's most pressing challenges. The Prize reinforced our belief that technology can be a powerful catalyst for strengthening communities when it is designed to foster connection, participation, and understanding. As Magnolia has grown across Colombia and Americas, we have used digital tools and community-centered experiences to create spaces for dialogue, learning, and belonging. Being part of the Kluz Prize community affirmed that building more peaceful and resilient societies requires both technological innovation and human connection, and that some of the most transformative solutions emerge where the two meet.”
