17 May is World Telecommunication & Information Society Day
Building a sustainable future demands innovative thinking and action, especially in the digital world.
WTISD 2024 is a chance to explore how digital innovation can help connect everyone and unlock sustainable prosperity for all.
Innovative tech can help tackle the world’s most pressing challenges, from fighting climate change to eliminating hunger and poverty. In fact, digital technologies can help achieve 70% of the targets under the UN Sustainable Development Goals by 2030. Yet glaring digital gaps hinder innovation in many parts of the world. The lack of policies, investment, and digital skills leaves many countries struggling to keep up in the fast-changing digital landscape.
The whole world needs digital innovation.
Together, we can make it happen.
Celebrated every year on 17 May, World Telecommunication and Information Society Day (WTISD) marks the founding of the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) – the United Nations agency for digital technologies.
