This statement has been further strengthened by Para. 25 of the WSIS Tunis Commitment which acknowledges that youth should «actively engage... in innovative ICT-based development programmes and (be given) opportunities... to be involved in e-strategy processes».

The objective of this activity is to create a community of practice to permit entrepreneurs, public authorities, NGOs, academics and all other agents to identify the barriers faced by enterprises in investing in ICTs and to share knowledge about policies and actions that bolster enterprises' - particularly SMEs - competitiveness through the use of ICTs.

The United Nations met the Silicon Valley to explore how technology and industry can bolster development. Prominent members of industry, academia, and the venture capital community took the stage alongside members of the Strategy Council of the Global Alliance for ICT and Development to discuss the partnership between the public and private sectors in the field of ICT and development.
