The last stretch: P2C surpasses USD 80 billion and sprints to the USD 100 billion finish line

In just three years, the Partner2Connect (P2C) platform has mobilized over USD 80 billion through more than 1,000 pledges, putting us well on track to reach the USD 100 billion target by 2026. This webinar celebrated key achievements, welcomed new pledges, and shared progress from our growing community of digital inclusion champions.
 
This edition’s In Focus segment spotlighted WSIS+20 — marking 20 years since the World Summit on the Information Society (WSIS). Established to build a people-centred, inclusive, and development-oriented information society, WSIS laid the foundation for global digital cooperation. The UN General Assembly resolution A/70/125 called for a high-level review in December 2025 in New York, offering a key moment to assess progress, share lessons, and chart a renewed vision for the next decade of the information society.
 
As digital technologies continue to evolve rapidly, the WSIS vision remains as relevant as ever — guiding efforts to ensure that digital transformation benefits everyone, everywhere.
 
In addition, the webinar showcased new P2C platform functionality to enhance 24/7 matchmaking, strengthen cross-regional partnerships, and launch a dynamic reporting campaign to accelerate pledge implementation.
