New York, September 12, 2026: Digital@UNGA is preparing to return to New York for its fourth edition, bringing governments, businesses, civil society, technology experts and other stakeholders together to discuss the future of digital cooperation.

With just 10 days remaining before the event, organizers say this year’s edition will be larger in scale and more ambitious in its efforts to bring diverse voices into discussions surrounding digital transformation.

A Platform for Global Digital Cooperation

Digital@UNGA is positioned as a multistakeholder platform connected to the annual United Nations General Assembly. It provides an opportunity for participants from different sectors and regions to exchange ideas about how digital technologies can contribute to sustainable and inclusive development.

The event is expected to focus attention on the opportunities and challenges created by rapid technological change, while encouraging cooperation among governments, international organizations, the private sector and wider civil society.

Shaping an Inclusive Digital Future

A major theme of the initiative is the development of a digital future that benefits people across different communities and regions.

As artificial intelligence, digital connectivity and emerging technologies continue to transform economies and societies, questions surrounding accessibility, inclusion, digital skills, governance and responsible technology use are becoming increasingly important.

Digital@UNGA aims to provide a space where these issues can be discussed by stakeholders with different perspectives and areas of expertise.

Part of UNGA81

The fourth edition will take place in New York during the period surrounding the 81st United Nations General Assembly (UNGA81).

The gathering comes at a time when international cooperation on digital issues is becoming increasingly important. Governments and organizations are seeking ways to ensure that technological progress supports development while addressing challenges related to access, trust, security and responsible innovation.

By bringing global voices together, Digital@UNGA seeks to contribute to conversations about the policies and partnerships needed to build a more inclusive digital ecosystem.

The upcoming fourth edition is expected to further expand the initiative’s role as a meeting point for stakeholders working toward greater international cooperation on digital development.
