Government convening
Bringing the public and private sectors together to advance a thriving society.
What we do
We convene governments, intergovernmental organisations and leaders of the mobile industry – ensuring meaningful engagement, dialogue and debate on policy and regulatory issues.
“It is so important to bring together governments, ministries, regulators, the private sector, and international organisations to discuss the real challenges and where we should focus our attention to close that gap and unleash digital opportunities for all.”
Doreen Bogdan-Martin, Secretary-General, ITU
