\n What is Digital@UNGA? <\/h2>\n

\n 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.<\/strong>

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<\/a>\u00a0and 2024<\/a>, and anchored in the outcomes of the World Summit on the Information Society and the Global Digital Compact, 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. <\/p>\n <\/div>\n
