Global Symposium for Regulators (Libreville, 2015)

9 - 11 June 2015 - Libreville, Gabon

 

The GSR is an annual event bringing together heads of national regulatory authorities from both developed and developing countries and has earned a reputation as the global venue for regulators to share their views and experiences as part of the worldwide community of regulators.  The meeting fosters an open dialogue between regulators and key ICT stakeholders: the private sector, investors and consumers.

The 15th Global Symposium for Regulators took place in Libreville, Gabon, from 9 to 11 June 2015. The event was co-hosted by ITU and ARCEP, under the patronage of His Excellency Mr Ali Bongo Ondimba, President of Gabon. The event welcomed around 400 senior international policy makers from over 60 countries, representing the world’s information and communication technology (ICT) regulatory authorities and leading tech companies. Strategies to accelerate digital inclusion to leverage the growth potential of emerging economies and developing markets were a key focus of discussions. Under the theme Mind the Digital Gap – Regulatory Incentives to Achieve Digital Opportunities, GSR-15 focused on a wide range of pressing regulatory issues, including mobile payments; network sharing models; taxation and the digital economy; the ‘Internet of Everything’; regulation and broadband uptake; and ways that regulatory frameworks can help promote accessibility for all.
