The ITU Secretary-General and the BDT Director opened the ITU Area Office and Innovation Centre in New Delhi, India, to help ITU to promote technology and sustainable development in South Asia.
The ITU Area Office and Innovation Centre brings together government, industry, academia and others in an entrepreneurial environment so that digital technology advancements in sectors such as agriculture, health, and education can reach the communities that need them most.
“ITU's new office in India will help us address the opportunities and challenges in the South Asia region," said Dr Cosmas Luckyson Zavazava, Director of ITU's Telecommunication Development Bureau. “Innovation coupled with digital access, affordability, and skills should equate to transformational impact on communities in all the countries ITU serves."
