With Innovation rising as a priority for policy makers, and based on the outcomes of the World Telecommunication Development Conference 2014 and the ITU Plenipotentiary Conference 2014, the Telecommunication Development Bureau (BDT) has embraced innovation as one of the Outputs of ITU Development Sector (ITU-D). 

The main objectives are to strengthen the members’ capabilities to integrate ICT innovation in their national development agendas, and to promote a culture of innovation.

​People are at the center of change. Our Approach is to listen to their voices and help them develop initiatives to address their needs by co-creating innovative solutions, together.

ITU aims to foster champions within ecosystems to promote innovation capacity, help accelerate socio-economic growth and inclusive development, develop synergies between ecosystems and deliver systemic impact initiatives that accelerate socio-economic transformation.
