Information and Communication Infrastructure: building the foundation for an inclusive information society

Having in mind the Goal 9 “Build resilient infrastructure, promote inclusive and sustainable industrialization and foster innovation” the Action Line C2 Facilitators are proposing a Panel session (1h minimum) on “Targeting SDG Goal 9: Identifying development Gaps to infrastructure placement and search for opportunities”.

As extension of the topics that will be discussed during the ALC2 Facilitator`s meeting, this special event will focus on the implementation side of the SDGs specially on identifying the existing infrastructure (ICT, utilities, transportation, etc.) and on the searching for new investment opportunities.

the ALC2 Facilitators will present the ITU Interactive Map and the work undertaken by partners (e.g. UNESCAP) for taking stoke of ICT network resources:

-        Resources for achieving the SDGs: Microwaves, satellite earth stations, optical fibers, IXPs, Broadband, spectrum management, database on Orbit and Spectrum usage, etc;

-        Use of new technologies for identifying development gaps: GIS solutions, Big Data, Data Visualization, Virtual Reality, and Enhanced Reality.
