WSIS Forum 2023: Small countries – Global impact: Digital journey tips and tricks from Lithuania

Over the past couple of decades, Lithuania has undergone an impressive digital transformation journey, evolving from a “digital dilettante” in the early 2000s to a nation that now ranks highly in global digital government indexes and boasts numerous digital success stories. As Lithuania celebrates its 100th anniversary of membership in the International Telecommunications Union, it’s a momentous occasion to reflect on the country’s digital achievements, the effective strategies employed, the valuable lessons learned, and the benefits that can be shared with other nations around the world.

During this session, participants from both the public and private sectors will share their perspectives, discuss the practical “tips and tricks” they have discovered on their journey to digital transformation and offer insights into what has worked, why it has worked, and how these successes can be replicated. Through intergovernmental and intersectoral cooperation and co-creation, this session will advance the practical implementation of the World Summit on the Information Society’s vision to establish human rights based, inclusive, and development-oriented information society worldwide.
