Efficient Government Services
Our vision doesn’t stop at creating solutions for digital governance. Draper Nation is a movement founded on the principles of freedom, trust, prosperity, and progress.
Every human being on earth deserves equal rights, opportunities, and access. We aim to shape the future of digital nations in the spirit of unity and open collaboration.
We are living in the technology age, an increasingly global and virtual world. New technologies hold the potential to improve outcomes for citizens– tools to foster freedom, trust, prosperity, and progress.
We imagine a future where:
Wall of Love
Hear from our community members who value a borderless life.
How will you change the world?
Inclusivity & Equality
Everyone, irrespective of their origin, beliefs, or location, is welcome to participate in Draper Nation with equal rights and opportunities. Discrimination is not tolerated.
Freedom of expression is paramount, as debate is essential to progress. People may all express their feelings, opinions, hopes and dreams without recourse or consequence. An open mind is necessary to change the trajectory of the future.
With over 30,000 members in our global community, the growth of the movement is made possible by the innovators participating in our digital nation hackathons, and by spreading the message through our ambassadors hosting meetups in their local communities.
