ITU Telecom World 2015, the global ICT innovation event, is an
Exhibition
for digital solutions, a
Forum for sharing knowledge and a
Networking
hub for governments, industry and academia. Its aim is to help
ideas go further, faster and to promote the innovative, transformative
ICT-enabled solutions that will make the world better, sooner.
Through an
interactive programme of debates, the Forum will tackle
central issues affecting the ICT ecosystem today, opening with a top-level
Leadership Summit on
accelerating digital innovation for social impact.
Discussions comprise panel debates, workshops, high-level round tables and
keynotes, grouped around three main tracks:
- Expanding access to digital opportunity –
overcoming the digital divide in access, content and data
through innovative connectivity solutions, new regulatory
approaches, monetizing big data, creating the infrastructure for
cloud and attracting investment.
- Building trust for a connected future –
establishing trust between consumers, industry and government to
realize the potential of the digital economy, from the
technological possibilities of security applications to consumer
trust in services and applications, international collaboration
to protect against cyber threats and innovative trust and
security hubs.
- Accelerating digital transformation – from
new developments in 5G mobile or international standards and
regulation in the Internet of Things to exploring how to bridge
the innovation divide, how emerging markets can work to foster
digital entrepreneurship, and establishing regional single
digital markets.
“The Forum’s world-class debate programme highlights new partnerships, new
solutions and new approaches to innovation, as well as exploring the critical
role of small and medium businesses (SMEs), start-ups, entrepreneurs, technology
hubs and accelerators in driving innovation and ensuring sustainable, inclusive
economic growth throughout the ICT ecosystem,” said ITU Secretary-General Houlin
Zhao. “Through the influential and diverse audience it convenes, and an
inspirational debate agenda, the Forum at ITU Telecom World 2015 promises to be
