World Summit on the Information Society

The World Summit on the Information Society (WSIS) is a series of conferences aimed at addressing the global challenges of the digital age. Initiated by the United Nations in the early 2000s, it brings together governments, business leaders, and civil society to discuss how to harness information and communication technologies (ICTs) for development and to bridge the digital divide. WSIS emphasizes the importance of access to information and the internet as fundamental rights, promoting inclusive policies that ensure everyone can benefit from technological advancements, ultimately aiming for a more connected and equitable world.
