Mission & Goals
Make.org is a European, non-partisan civic tech organisation. We strengthen our democracies by using innovation, building technology and methodologies. Our mission is to engage citizens in the positive transformation of society. Our teams draw, shape and build democratic methods and infrastructure that enables citizen participation in public decision-making, increase democratic resilience, identify societal consensus and stay easily informed: tech for democracy in practice. As a European actor rethinking and strengthening democratic processes, we work in three tracks to strengthen democratic resilience and provide ways to make it happen: 1. Solutions: Linking Citizens and Institutions 2. Research: Building Technology for Democracy. 3. Advocacy: Championing Democracy in Europe and beyond. It is essential for us to offer solutions that not only meet the highest privacy standards but are also safe and secure against trolling and online disruptions.
EU Legislative Interests
We are following processes that lie at the intersection of democracy and technology. This mainly includes citizen participation (consultation activities), but also enhanced institutional transparency and the democratic use of artificial intelligence.
Communication Activities
We organise different events and meetings related to our outlined priorities above, as well as projects that we are involved in. This also counts for publications, such as blog posts, social media content and articles.

Organisation Members
The Association Civic Tech Europe (ACTE) was founded in December 2019 to represent civic techs at the European level. Civic tech actors are independent of any political or economic movement and rely on technological innovations to strengthen citizens' participation in democracy and forge new links between voters and institutions. The civic tech platforms grow quickly but they do not have collective representation. ACTE aims to be the sector’s privileged interlocutor of public authorities and stakeholders of the sector at the European level. Our common objectives are : Structure and represent the sector within the European Union; Guarantee the original vocation of civic tech by focusing on their democratic purpose; Respect the differences in culture and approach of each individual; Strengthen and multiply civic tech platforms in all Member States; Foster the acculturation of civic tech in order to create new links between public decision-makers and citizens and strengthen the participatory dimension of our European democracies.
