What is Digital@UNGA?
Digital@UNGA is a United Nations General Assembly-anchored platform convened by the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) and the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) to explore how digital technologies can drive progress for people and prosperity everywhere.
The platform brings together innovators and world leaders from government, the private sector, civil society, international organizations and youth to spotlight how digital technologies can be a force for good through inclusion, purpose, and collaboration.
Building on the SDG Digital events of 2023 and 2024, and anchored in the outcomes of the World Summit on the Information Society and the Global Digital Compact (2024), Digital@UNGA responds to the global call for action to ensure that digital transformation delivers for everyone, everywhere.
Launched in September 2025 at United Nations Headquarters in New York, Digital@UNGA has become a focal point during the General Assembly for dialogue and action-oriented collaboration on digital technologies.
Its inaugural edition featured:
- A flagship Anchor Event, titled ” Digital for good: For people and prosperity,” at UN Headquarters, New York
- A series of Affiliate Sessions organized by partners across UN High Level Week.
- The Digit’all Voices campaign, inviting global citizens to share questions with leaders.
WSIS+20 Edition
The next edition of Digital@UNGA will feature WSIS+20, marking 20 years since the World Summit on the Information Society (WSIS). This milestone event reflects on two decades of digital progress and renews the collective vision for a people-centred, inclusive, and development-oriented Information Society. Multistakeholder collaboration and partnerships are at the heart of WSIS+20 and drive the implementation of its Action Lines. In this spirit, the special edition of Digital@UNGA will also host the 2025 Partner2Connect Digital Coalition Annual Meeting, underscoring the importance of collective action for digital transformation.
