The
International Telecommunication Union (ITU) organized a workshop on
“Industry Engagement” in the
ITU Headquarters in Geneva, Switzerland, on 19 April 2024.
The workshop aimed to advance the discussion about industry engagement in ITU-T by exchanging views and gathering input from members and non-members. It considered current perspectives on industry participation in ITU-T activities; explored metrics to quantify and qualify engagement; brainstormed the ITU-T value proposition; and reviewed trends in standardization processes of particular interest to industry.
The output of the workshop provided guidance to the ITU-T standardization advisory group on industry engagement and metrics.
The workshop invited representatives of private sector organizations from all regions and of all sizes, active or interested in ITU-T and the development of international standards.
In-person participation was open to all interested stakeholders, including ITU Member States, Sector Members, Associates and Academic institutions, and to any individual from a country that is a member of ITU. Remote participation was not provided for this workshop.
