This panel investigates the digital infrastructures that shape migration: from corridor-specific border technologies to the platforms shaping transit choices and the tools being developed to support integration. Panelists draw on urban planning, development studies, and digital media to explore how infrastructure is never neutral: it encodes assumptions about who migrants are, where they are going, and how they belong. 

This panel asks what digital tools actually do – and don’t do - for migrants navigating settlement, health, and civic life. From telecare and health platforms to chatbots aimed at supporting political integration, panelists look at how these technologies play out in practice  for diverse migrant populations, including older adults and racialized communities. 

This session brings together a small group of rapporteurs - drawn from civil society organizations and Bridging Divides researchers, who have followed the conference with a specific task: to listen, synthesize, and reflect critically on what was said, and what was left unsaid. Each rapporteurs to speak from their own standpoint, whether that is the realities of front-line service delivery, advocacy, or ongoing research.
