What is the role of the Private sector in the Summit?
Private sector involvement is crucial in the Summit process in order to ensure sound and sustainable development of infrastructures, content and affordable applications for the information society. The private sector can be involved in practical partnerships for innovative applications such as e-Government initiatives. The role of the private sector goes beyond that of the market. It can play a role in a wider political and social context, for example, by helping countries develop ICTs, ICT markets and the human resource capacity necessary to bridge the digital divide.
