Digital with Purpose Global Summit

The Digital With Purpose Global Summit is a flagship event for digital leaders and convening public and private sector decision-makers to accelerate the use and uptake of digital innovations that benefit society and achieve the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by 2030. The Summit represents a unique opportunity for private and public sector companies, vertical industries, and cities to showcase the benefits of Digital and Sustainable solutions.  

Project Objectives:

The Digital with Purpose Global Summit seeks to position innovation and digital solutions as central to the sustainability agenda, with sustainability reciprocally forming the core of the digital agenda. While there is substantial evidence that digital technologies are instrumental in addressing pressing sustainability challenges and empowering global leaders, we currently lack the requisite tools, business models, talent, skills, and collaborations to fully harness the potential of digitalization.    

Members of DWP are dedicated to enhancing the benefits while reducing the drawbacks of digital technologies, aligning their activities with global frameworks like the Paris Climate Agreement and the UN Sustainable Development Goals. Commitment to transparency is a cornerstone of this initiative, with members regularly sharing updates on their sustainability efforts through the annual submission of the DWP Framework Performance Certification.    

The movement urges its members to implement solid measures to combat climate change and promote the UN SDGs in their practices, and to seek out cross-sector collaboration for the quick adoption and expansion of effective solutions.
