UN Secretary-General António Guterres established a High-Level Panel on Digital Cooperation to advance a global multi-stakeholder dialogue on how inter-disciplinary and cooperative approaches can help ensure a safe and inclusive digital future for all.
Since its establishment in July 2018, the Panel has held three in-person meetings, and carried out a wide-ranging consultation process to hear the views and proposals of stakeholders across regions, sectors and disciplines.
This included visits to several major tech hubs and capital cities, participation in over 60 conferences and workshops, organization of 7 expert discussion groups and 7 public Virtual Town Halls, a call for contributions that yielded over 150 detailed written submissions and an online survey completed by over 300 respondents.

This month, the High-level Panel on Digital Cooperation met in Helsinki to work on its final report which is scheduled for submission to the UN Secretary-General by early June 2019.
This was preceded by a joint meeting with the EU’s Global Tech Panel at the Nokia campus in Espoo, Finland. This meeting offered an opportunity to exchange views on global governance in the digital age, including the capacity needed for societies both to understand and manage challenges ahead, and to leverage digital technologies to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals. |

As part of an ongoing series of engagements with digital policy communities in the weeks ahead, the Panel will work with partners to hold a series of regional dialogues to collect perspectives on regional priorities for digital cooperation and gather feedback on the Panel’s draft recommendations:
