Policy governing the IGF 2025 reporting initiative

Under the theme Building Governance Together, IGF 2025 marks the forum’s 20th anniversary and aims to shape the future of internet governance ahead of the WSIS+20 meeting later in the year. Norway is committed to fostering an open, secure, and inclusive internet by bringing together a wide range of voices within the multistakeholder model. The forum will feature diverse sessions and tracks designed to engage participants from governments, the private sector, civil society, academia, the technical community, and international organisations, from both developed and developing countries.
