The main objective of the Symposium – Enabling Tomorrow’s Digital World - is to discuss the key problems of the strategy for ICT sector development and regulation. According to the Agenda, during plenary meetings, the participants will focus on the tasks the regulators have to fulfill in order to enhance the process of broadband deployment in every country by applying efficient regulation tools, changing the role of regulators in a digital world, extending the regulatory tools to new segments, such as climate changes caused by ICT sector and cyber threats.

The event brings together leaders of regulatory authorities from developed and developing countries and has become a worldwide forum where participants exchange views and experience. This event contributes to a closer open dialogue between regulators from all over the world with ICT stakeholders: private sector, investors and consumers.
