Many of the Noema articles are like that. I looked it up and found that its made by the Berggruen Institute, a US-based think tank, but i have no idea what their interests are. The sprinkled-in jargon seems to be an aspect of self-promotion, overdoing it to the extent that it starts to read like a poem instead of having content.

My guess is that their interests lie somewhere near the advocacy of something like a techno-democracy. Where "tech" is used dually to refer to "technocracy" in the traditional sense and as alluded to in this article, "technology", as an extension of government.
