Office of Denmark's Tech Ambassador

1/3: This week, @FO_Coalition Member States, Observers, the FOC Advisory Network, and external stakeholders gathered in The Hague for the final Strategy & Coordination Meeting (SCM) of 2024, hosted by Chair of the FOC, #KingdomNL 🇳🇱.

Wrapping up #UNGA79 with an important conversation with @Refugees Deputy Commissioner on the importance of closing gender digital divides - digital inclusion is about both connectivity, safety and skills for women and girls in the digital age #HerPower @ForeignPolicy

Had a great conversation with my counterpart, the Acting Danish Tech Ambassador about the #GlobalDigitalCompact, focusing on Common Ground, Common Understanding , and Common Benefits of #ArtificialInteligence. We explored how to tackle the digital divide and ensure that technology drives inclusive growth within the context of the @UN Charter. We also discussed Denmarks Innovation Hub in Kenya, which will enhance collaboration and drive digital transformation. Looking ahead, we’ll explore deeper cooperation between our countries, especially with the Danish EU Presidency in 2025 on the horizon. @ForeignOfficeKE @SingoeiAKorir @AMEngtoft @TechambDK @DanishMFA @Denmark_UN @KenyaMissionUN

📸 from our High-Level Side Event at #UNGA79! A multi-stakeholder dialogue focused on Closing Digital Divides and paving the way to an inclusive and rights-respecting digital future. Important discussion co-hosted with @Microsoft, Humane Intelligence and @witnessorg

Grateful to @TechambDK, @Microsoft, @HumaneIntelligence, and @Witness for the opportunity to speak at the High-Level Side Event during #UNGA79 on closing digital divides. Digital inclusion today is about access to opportunities, not just technology. We must acknowledge the history of exclusion, redefine the digital divide in an evolving ecosystem, and focus on the lived realities of the Global Majority. The @UN is still the best space to foster global collaboration for a safe, secure, and inclusive digital future that prioritizes humanity over technology. #GlobalDigitalCompact #InclusiveFuture #DigitalRights #UNGA79 @ForeignOfficeKE @KenyaMissionUN @SingoeiAKorir
