OFFICIAL BIO:Suzanne Tempelhof

International Entrepreneur, Award-Winning Innovator, Frontier Governance and Technology Researcher

Suzanne Tempelhof is renowned for her pioneering work in governance and technology. With a commitment to pushing boundaries, she has redefined traditional notions of governance and identity, leaving a lasting impact on the global stage.

In 2008, Suzanne founded Wise in Afghanistan, conducting social science research on local governance structures. This led to the successful sale of Wise to a US contracting firm in 2011. Onward to the Arab Spring, she established Shabakat Corporation, supporting grassroots movements during the civil war in Libya and Yemen, and the revolution in Egypt. Recognizing the limitations of conventional approaches, Suzanne embarked on a quest for alternative models of governance.

In 2014, she made history by launching Bitnation, the world’s first Network-State, powered by the blockchain. Bitnation revolutionized the concept of governance with pioneering initiatives such as the World Citizen ID, Marriage and Birth Certificate, and Land Titles, sparking a global conversation on decentralized governance. In partnership with Estonia’s E-Residency program in 2015, Suzanne introduced a Public Notary service, showcasing the global potential of blockchain in delivering public services. The same year, she launched the Bitnation Refugee Emergency ID Program, which received the prestigious UNESCO NetExplo Award in 2017 for its humanitarian impact during the European refugee crisis. Building on these achievements, she developed a global network of embassies and ambassadors, introduced a p2p jurisdiction accessible through Android and Apple apps, raised +2 million, and launched a token worth over +$300 million at the time of launch.

In 2017, WIRED magazine acknowledged her contributions as one of the “Ten Innovators Fighting for Your Right to Privacy Online” alongside luminaries such as Vitalik Buterin and Pavel Durov. She’s a regular media contributor and keynote speaker at conferences, having appeared in The New York Times, Forbes, WIRED, VICE, TechCrunch, The Economist, BBC Radio 4, The Telegraph, CNN, Bloomberg, Wall Street Journal, Foreign Policy, NASDAQ.COM, The Atlantic, The Independent, TEDx, University of Cambridge, London School of Economics, the EU Parliament, NATO summits, HCPP, amongst many other venues.
