ITU: Empowering the least developed countries through information and communication technologies - World Telecommunication and Information Society Day (WTISD)

World Telecommunication and Information Society Day (WTISD) focuses this year on “Empowering the least developed countries through information and communication technologies.” Taking place on 17 May 2023, on the Day ITU calls on the public and private sectors to make pledges for universal connectivity and digital transformation in these countries through its Partner2Connect Digital Coalition.

Mid-way through the agenda to fulfil the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by 2030, those countries face daunting challenges.

We invite you to celebrate ITU’s birthday on 17 May either at its Headquarters, or remotely, starting 2.30 pm CEST.
