Register now to attend The ITU Global Innovation Forum 2021

More than a year in, the COVID-19 crisis continues to have a significant impact on society. To recover from crises like this, the world needs new partnerships to close the digital innovation gap, accelerate entrepreneurship-driven innovation and create decent jobs. Stakeholders can use this experience as an opportunity to transform their communities into thriving and competitive digital economies.

Under the theme Building partnerships to mainstream entrepreneurship, The Global Innovation Forum will empower participants with new insights, skills, tools, frameworks and relevant case studies to understand how to leapfrog the digital innovation divide, prepare and recover from global crises such as the pandemic and accelerate job creation in countries.
