What do we do

Future technologies support leveraging the promising advances in digital transformation to foster inclusive and innovative growth. It is paramount to craft conscientious technology governance and enabling regulatory frameworks that not only enable application of technology but also drive innovation. This includes driving digital evolution across various sectors and industries and harnessing tech-driven solutions to enhance service delivery and everyday living and protect the environment. How can we reimagine policies, regulations, and institutions to responsibly and imaginatively scale these transformative technologies for the benefit of all?

The primary aim of Tech Advisory Forum is to foster inclusive and equitable digital advancement. This forum seeks to bridge the gap between technological innovation and societal needs by advocating for policies and practices that promote digital literacy, accessibility, and ethical use of emerging technologies. By serving as a catalyst for change, TAF aspires to ensure that the benefits of digital transformation are shared broadly, empowering all individuals and communities to participate fully in the digital economy.

The objectives of the forum include raising awareness about the critical role of technology in driving economic growth and social well-being. It strives to engage with leaders from government, businesses, academia, and civil society to foster dialogue and collaboration on addressing challenges of digital transformation in governance and society such as cybersecurity, privacy, and the digital divide. TAF dialogue aims to influence the evolution of public policy and sustainable frameworks that shape a future where technology serves as a force for good, enhancing the quality of life for all.
