UN Digital Cooperation Day – 22 September 2025
From Principles to Practice – One Year of the Global Digital Compact (GDC)
EuroMedAI is honored to be invited by the United Nations Office for Digital and Emerging Technologies (ODET) to attend UN Digital Cooperation Day: From Principles to Practice – One Year of the GDC, convened during UNGA80 High-Level Week in New York City.
One year after the adoption of the Global Digital Compact, this full-day programme brings together leaders across sectors to take stock of progress, spotlight practical initiatives, and strengthen cooperation around the Compact’s core priorities—particularly at the intersection of digital inclusion, governance, and innovation.
Why this matters
