It was a pleasure to welcome Nikolas Myint, UN Resident Coordinator from @UNinMalaysia, to @UNDPtech this week.

Sustainable development calls for concerted efforts, and it is crucial to find synergies and opportunities for collaboration. Grateful to the team for the exchange!

What happens when you bring leaders, innovators, artists and young people together to talk about our digital future? 🌐

A week ago, #DigitalUNGA did just that.

Here’s a look back at some of the moments and voices that shaped the conversation. 👇

Complex challenges need more than isolated projects. 🧩

Portfolio approaches connect finance, policy, institutions & innovation for durable results at scale. Philanthropy has a distinct role in systems change. 🤝

Connectivity used to be the dividing line. Now it's compute.

At today's session on AI and hardware, @UNDP made the case that countries need institutions, skills, financing and governance, not just access, to make AI work for development.

[UNDP Digital and AI Hub @UNDPDigital]

Today at the #WSISForum2026 inaugural session, @UNDP's @Robert_Opp: 'AI adoption is outpacing AI readiness. From Zimbabwe to Ecuador, UNDP is helping countries build the institutions & skills to steer AI toward public value, and turning digital commitments into real impact.'

[Doreen Bogdan-Martin @ITUSecGen]
