New Tech-for-Good Startup TechEthics Launches to Drive Ethical Innovation, Social Impact, and ‘PeaceTech’

Belfast, March 13^th, 2025

TechEthics, a pioneering technology startup committed to leveraging innovation for social good, in partnership with Ulster Innovation Ltd., officially announces its incorporation today. With a mission to develop scalable, interdisciplinary, and customisable solutions that address conflict resolution, misinformation, and social polarisation, TechEthics operates at the intersection of technology and humanity.

At a time when technology’s role in society is under heightened scrutiny, TechEthics differentiates itself by prioritising ethical AI, transparency, and real-world impact. Its approach integrates expertise from technology, social sciences, and governance, ensuring that solutions are not only technologically advanced but also socially responsible. With a unique blend of combined expertise in peace building, academia, pedagogy, defence, and technology, TechEthics will create innovative and ethical solutions for social good.

“We believe that technology should serve humanity, not the other way around,”

“This is a unique opportunity to leverage technology for aspirational applications which are beneficial to all of humanity. We at TechEthics believe there is a moral imperative to create technologies to strengthen democratic resilience, increase social cohesion, futureproof peace building, and deliver social impact. By bringing together experts across disciplines and working closely with stakeholders—from grassroots organisations to governments—we are creating solutions that are effective, iterative, and ethical.” Sophia Devlin, Co-Founder and CEO of TechEthics.

Their platforms will all be scalable, enabling adoption by entities ranging from small NGOs to large government and supranational bodies. Customisability is a core feature, allowing tools to be tailored to specific regional and contextual needs, whether combatting misinformation, bridging societal divides in conflicts, or enhancing democratic engagement.

With an emphasis on measurable impact, TechEthics has established rigorous assessment frameworks, including bias audits, impact-tracking mechanisms, and regular community feedback loops. These efforts ensure that our solutions drive meaningful change and remain responsive to the evolving needs of communities worldwide.
TechEthics is actively forming strategic partnerships and collaborating with civil society organisations, academic institutions, and ethical investors to expand its reach and accelerate development. The company plans to launch its first suite of products in the coming months, focusing on AI-enabled tools for mapping impact, increasing social cohesion, and strengthening democratic resilience.
