    IGF 2025 calls for your inputs on the future of the internet

    • The Internet Governance Forum (IGF) invites stakeholders to submit thematic inputs for its 2025 meeting by 12 January 2025.
    • Contributions will shape the IGF’s focus areas, including topics like artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, and digital cooperation.

    What happened: IGF 2025 seeks your input

    The Internet Governance Forum (IGF) is currently soliciting thematic inputs from various stakeholders for its 2025 annual meeting. This initiative is crucial as it aims to set a focused agenda that addresses pressing internet issues. The IGF Secretariat encourages participation from civil society, governments, private sectors, and technical communities, allowing diverse perspectives to shape the discussion.

    The deadline for submissions is 12 January 2025, emphasising the importance of collective engagement in shaping internet governance. This call to action is particularly significant for small companies and individual contributors in tech industries, who often feel sidelined in larger discussions. By voicing their concerns and ideas, they can influence topics like cybersecurity and digital cooperation, ensuring their needs are addressed.

    Engaging in this process fosters a more inclusive approach to internet governance, ultimately benefiting all stakeholders involved.

    Why this is important

    The call for thematic inputs for IGF 2025 is vital in the broader context of internet governance. Many voices, especially from small companies and individual stakeholders, often go unheard. As digitalisation accelerates, issues like cybersecurity, data privacy, and digital cooperation become increasingly critical. The IGF’s inclusive approach provides a platform for smaller players to express their concerns and shape policies that directly impact them.

    For instance, small tech firms struggle to navigate complex regulations, leading to compliance burdens that larger corporations can manage more easily. By participating in the IGF, these entities can advocate for fairer regulations that address their unique challenges. Industry expert Emma Johnson states, “The voices of smaller companies are vital for a balanced approach to digital governance.” Including diverse perspectives enables the IGF to create a stronger framework that supports innovation and protects the rights of all internet users. This initiative ultimately affects readers by shaping the digital landscape they engage with daily.
