WASHINGTON, DC ­– ������Ƶ congratulates
X-Lab director and founder Sascha Meinrath on X-Lab’s spin out as an
independent tech tank starting in April.

X-Lab,
a project incubated at ������Ƶ over the last year, will be housed at the
New Venture Fund, a 501(c)(3) public charity that works to achieve a healthier,
more equitable world through a diverse array of technology, conservation,
education, global health, and other philanthropic initiatives.

“T�ǻ岹��,
Washington needs bold leadership that can chart a course through the
increasingly complex tensions that new technologies are creating,” stated Sascha
Meinrath, X-Lab’s founder and director. “I’ve been honored to work with many of
the smartest technical minds on the planet, launching both ������Ƶ’s Open
Technology Institute and now X-Lab. X-Lab is conceptualized from the ground up to
provide a fundamentally new kind of collaborative environment for the next
generation of tech policy visionaries.”

Meinrath
previously founded ������Ƶ’s Open Technology Institute in 2008, and led its
rapid growth to become one of the leading technology policy organizations in
the nation’s capital. He stepped down as OTI’s Director and ������Ƶ’s Vice-­President
in 2014 to launch X-Lab, the latest in a series of innovative projects he’s
curated and developed at ������Ƶ.

“T���
Open Technology Institute is a vital and exciting part of ������Ƶ, one that
is helping to shape our future at the intersection of policy and technology in
a wide range of fields,” stated Anne­-Marie Slaughter, President of New
America. “Sascha founded and built OTI over a number of years, for which we are
deeply grateful. We expect great things from him as he spins out his new
����Գٳܰ���.”
