Unlocking Partnerships for Universal Connectivity and Digital Transformation

The World Telecommunication and ICT Policy Forum 2026 provides a global platform for policymakers and stakeholders to exchange views and shape forward looking policy frameworks for an inclusive, sustainable, resilient, and innovative digital future.

As WTPF-26 focuses on bridging digital divides, resilience, green digital transformation, space connectivity, and innovation ecosystems, there is a clear need to move beyond high-level dialogue and strengthen the partnerships needed to translate these ambitions into meaningful action.
 
Partner2Connect Digital Coalition provides a unique platform to do so. Since its launch, Partner2Connect has brought together a global community of governments, industry leaders, development finance institutions, civil society, and international organizations committed to advancing universal meaningful connectivity and sustainable digital transformation through collaboration and commitments.

The Partner2Connect Solutions Lab will draw directly on this community to facilitate candid discussions, showcase practical collaboration models, exchange implementation experiences, and identify partnership opportunities that can accelerate universal meaningful connectivity, sustainable digital transformation, and the responsible diffusion of emerging technologies such as AI.
