\n Organised in the context of the ITU-UNDP Digital@UNGA programme during UN High Level Week 2025 <\/h3>\n

\n Digital@UNGA was more than an anchor event \u2014 it was a testament to the world coming together. The proof? Over 45 Affiliate Sessions unfolded across the globe, led by governments, the private sector, UN agencies, NGOs, and youth. Each one was independently organized, yet all were united by a shared mission: to celebrate the power of digital to connect, uplift, and empower.

What emerged was a remarkable spectrum of ideas and impact \u2014 from sustainable agriculture in India to urban health, from responsible AI and digital policy to space connectivity reaching remote communities, from trusted digital ID solutions for displaced people to early warning systems transforming networks into lifelines, and classrooms preparing students for an AI-driven future. Governments, private sector leaders, UN agencies, NGOs, youth, women, and even refugees all came to the table. Different voices, contexts, and causes, yet one shared vision: digital as a force for good.

Each Affiliate Session broadened the stage of Digital@UNGA, ensuring that innovations and solutions from every sector and region were heard. Digital@UNGA is not simply an event \u2014 it is a global movement where every story counts, every partnership matters, and every solution can make a difference.

Here are the outcomes.<\/strong> <\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/section>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n\n
