The World Economic Forum’s Delivering Digital Infrastructure initiative is a global, multistakeholder effort to ensure digital infrastructure deployments are able to support the promise of the digital economy.

The project engaged a multistakeholder community of government, private sector, civil society and academia.

Sincere thanks are extended to the Steering Committee which helped guide the project.
