Digital Inclusion & Skills

Expanding Opportunities for All

Digital transformation offers tremendous potential—but only if everyone can benefit equally. Digital inclusion goes beyond access to technology. It also means empowering people with the skills they need to participate actively and confidently in a digital society. At the Smart Country Convention, you’ll discover how digital inclusion and skills development can be strengthened across all communities.

Infrastructure as the Foundation of Inclusion

Digital inclusion starts with access to reliable infrastructure. High-speed internet, stable networks, and affordable digital devices are essential for everyone to participate in the digital world. Public authorities and municipalities play a key role in expanding this infrastructure to ensure equitable access for all.
