Advancements in digital technologies have opened global markets, creating unprecedented opportunities and driving innovation worldwide. Digital transformation has become a powerful catalyst for human progress enabling breakthroughs in education, healthcare, climate action, and economic empowerment. Yet, 2.6 billion people remain offline, missing out on the life-changing benefits of universal, meaningful connectivity.
As the world races toward a more inclusive, sustainable, and connected future, it is urgent to empower everyone, everywhere to shape their own digital journey.
Partner2Connect (P2C), ITU’s multistakeholder Digital Coalition, is a global force for digital inclusion. By championing universal, meaningful connectivity and accelerating digital transformation, P2C serves as a high-level platform to mobilize and announce new resources, partnerships, and commitments from a global community of leaders united in putting digital technologies at the service of humanity.
“I believe in the transformative power of technology and a shared digital future for all. Universal, meaningful connectivity and sustainable digital transformation can only be achieved with the right partnerships, policies, and programmes. Partner2Connect provides a unique multistakeholder platform where action oriented collaboration can be enacted to leave no one behind and no one offline.“
