Ditchley Community
Our primary route to impact is through people, with an evolving community some thousands strong across different centres of modern power and in many countries. We continually bring in new people, perspectives, and expertise from all backgrounds.
Our people, including staff, Governors, the Council of Management and the wider Ditchley Network, provide, create and build the right connections to understand and have influence on the connected world.
Proudly bipartisan, globally connected and acting as a bridge between government, business, and technology, Ditchley is uniquely placed to strengthen the links between democratic governments, societies and economies.
