Keynote 3: The Politics of Connectivity: Governing in a Fragmented World

Connectivity now sits at the heart of political decision-making, economic competition and global security. Yet the systems that support it are being shaped by diverging regulations, shifting alliances and accelerating technological change. We bring together influential voices from policy, industry and international institutions to examine how the world can govern connectivity responsibly amid mounting fragmentation. Together, these voices explore how governance models must evolve to balance openness with security, innovation with accountability and national interests with global interdependence.
