Setting the standard
                             Join us at WTSA-16 in Tunisia and help set the standardization agenda
                             for the future of the Information Society.
                             Help build the digital economy
                             Be part of the discussion on the standards and initiatives which will help enable
                             the digital economy. The future shape of the Internet of Things (IoT), smart cities,
                             cybersecurity and 5G are all underpinned by the work we will do at WTSA-16.
