Why Diplo?

Despite Korea’s strategic vision outlined in the 2nd Basic Plan for Public Diplomacy (2023–2027)—to become a global pivotal state—public diplomacy projects remain fragmented across ministries and institutions. There’s no centralized system to analyze or benchmark data, and planners lack tailored feedback during the ideation phase.

The Solution

DIPLO is a data-driven platform designed to fix that. By integrating AI, DIPLO helps public diplomacy practitioners upload project plans and instantly receive context-specific, data-backed feedback—based on historical records, cultural preferences, and sensitive local issues. It makes planning smarter, faster, and globally aware.

Core Features

• AI Analysis Engine: Uses NLP and machine learning to evaluate proposals based on public diplomacy performance data and Korean Wave consumption trends.
• Visual Insights: Interactive maps and graphs show how projects have evolved over time, across countries and sectors.
• Comparative Benchmarks: Users can compare strategies by year, country, or theme—culture, education, or policy—to refine their plans.

Built on Open Data

DIPLO utilizes official datasets such as:

• Korea Foundation’s public diplomacy performance reports
• Ministry of Culture’s Korean Wave Global Survey Reports

These sources are updated regularly and allow DIPLO to visualize trends, assess project fit, and forecast success.
