AB DAO Partners with AB Charity Foundation for Tech-Driven Philanthropy Forum
On May 12, 2025, Dublin witnessed a groundbreaking event as AB DAO and the AB Charity Foundation came together to host the inaugural "Closed-Door Forum for Technology-Driven Philanthropy." This exclusive gathering aimed to explore how emerging technologies can significantly impact and improve philanthropic initiatives worldwide.
The forum was presided over by His Excellency Bertie Ahern, the Chairman of the AB Charity Foundation and former Prime Minister of Ireland. Ahern commenced the event with a thought-provoking keynote speech titled "Technology and Trust – A New Order for Philanthropy," which underscored the necessity of trust in leveraging technology for charitable purposes.
Among the distinguished guests were notable figures such as His Excellency Olusegun Obasanjo, former President of Nigeria and past Chairperson of the African Union, and Mr. Malcolm Byrne, a member of the Irish Parliament and Chairman of the Artificial Intelligence Committee. Their participation highlighted the global perspective on incorporating technology into philanthropy.
A major highlight of the forum was a presentation by Anthony Tsang, a representative from AB Chain, who showcased several technical advancements. Among these innovations was the high-performance Mainnet architecture, the AB Connect cross-chain protocol, and the fee-free transaction protocol known as Universal Transfer. These cutting-edge developments exemplify AB DAO's vision to create a globally compliant blockchain infrastructure that serves charitable purposes.
The discussions revolved around leveraging modern technological solutions to strengthen global philanthropic efforts. Participants engaged in meaningful dialogues about ensuring that technology can enhance transparency, reduce costs, and ultimately deliver more effective charitable outcomes.
One of the key objectives established during the forum was the framework for how the AB Charity Foundation plans to disseminate these key findings. The foundation will compile the outcomes and insights from the event and present them to international stakeholders, including the United Nations and various partner networks. The aim is to promote the principle of "Technology for Good" on a global scale.
The AB Charity Foundation, registered in Ireland and recognized as a non-governmental organization within the EU, is dedicated to creating a transparent and traceable platform for global charitable activities powered by blockchain technology and artificial intelligence. Supported both financially and technologically by AB DAO, the foundation represents a forward-thinking approach to charity, aligning modern technology with the altruistic efforts of organizations around the world.
In conclusion, the Closed-Door Forum for Technology-Driven Philanthropy not only marks a significant milestone in collaboration between AB DAO and the AB Charity Foundation but also sets a precedent for future initiatives aimed at integrating technology into philanthropy. As technology continues to evolve, it offers unprecedented opportunities for organizations committed to making a positive impact in the world.
