Tony Blair Speaker Profile: At A Glance
Tony Blair works passionately to address some of the world’s biggest challenges. But he’s a realist. He knows it takes more than just spreading awareness to solve problems on a global scale. It takes people from disparate backgrounds and experiences coming together to find common ground – in order to build real solutions for change. Since leaving political office, that has been the former Prime Minister’s passion.
From 1997 to 2007, Tony Blair was the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, having been its youngest since 1812. He led the Labour Party to three consecutive victories in the general elections for the first time in history. There are a lot of domestic changes and tremendous reforms during the period of Blair, like considerable investments in health care and education, plus minimum wage law. In this position, he played a crucial role in bringing about the peace process in Northern Ireland, including the Good Friday Agreement of 1998.
Tony Blair has played a vital role in global politics and policy since his office. He opened the Tony Blair Institute for Global Change in 2017 as an organization aimed at fighting the world's most pressing challenges in governance, extremism, and technology's impacts on society. His premiership career has seen Blair working on a significant component of his work in the Middle East—speaking to support peace and stability.
Blair is also a sought-after public speaker on topics such as global politics, leadership, and technology's future. He speaks regularly about the influence of artificial intelligence and modern governance systems that are needed to be adaptive in the face of rapid change. His vision of "Reimagined State" imagines how governments can use technology in order to provide public services in a better way and help raise economic growth.
