The Global Development Conference 2025 (GDC 2025), organised by the Global Development Network will take place in Clermont-Ferrand, France from October 28 to 30, 2025. It will explore the multifaceted dimensions of inclusive digital transformation and its role in shaping sustainable development outcomes through the theme – ‘Inclusive Digital Transformation: Social Impacts and Technological Innovations’. As digital technologies continue to revolutionise economies and societies worldwide, it is crucial to examine their social impacts and ensure that technological innovations benefit all segments of society, particularly in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs).
The conference will examine the social implications of this change, debate novel solutions, and discuss digital inclusion policies. It will also explore how technology can advance the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals, particularly focused on digital inclusion, equality, and sustainable development, while bringing stakeholders together to leverage digital technologies for social and economic progress.
