DAVOS — In a world where connectivity is as essential as water and electricity, over 2.7 billion people remain digitally disconnected, according to the United Nations. Digitalization is critical for countries, with the World Economic Forum (WEF) estimating that it could increase global GDP by 70 percent by 2030.
At the forefront of international digitization discussions is the Digital Cooperation Organization (DCO). This organization is committed to empowering economies, especially in emerging countries, by offering them opportunities to thrive in the rapidly evolving digital space through the adoption of global best practices.
The DCO’s initiatives focus on supporting startups, empowering women entrepreneurs, and engaging with key regional and international stakeholders to shape the digital future. Actively working towards a more cooperative and digitally inclusive future, the DCO is a pivotal player in the digital arena.
