Build n Blaze Endorses UN Global Digital Compact, Ushering in a New Era of Digital Cooperation
Build n Blaze is proud to officially endorse the United Nations Global Digital Compact (GDC), standing with leading organizations worldwide to advance this landmark framework for inclusive, responsible digital cooperation. As a recognized authority in the safe and sustainable adoption of emerging and disruptive technologies, our endorsement underscores a steadfast commitment to shaping a human-centered digital future—and to championing ethical innovation, global standards, and digital rights for all.
A Milestone for Global Digital Governance
Adopted by consensus at the 2024 UN Summit of the Future, the Global Digital Compact is the world’s first multilateral instrument for comprehensive and systematic digital governance. It commits nations to uphold international law and human rights online—while taking bold, practical steps toward a safer, more inclusive digital landscape.
From Compact to Action
Thousands have contributed to this Compact, but its true potential lies in stakeholders acting together to build an open, secure, and equitable digital world. The GDC spotlights the vital leadership of the private sector, technical experts, civil society, and researchers—a model embodied by Build n Blaze’s collaborative approach to digital transformation. It establishes three pillars that echo our own methodology:
- Close all digital divides and deliver an inclusive digital economy
- Build an inclusive, open, safe, and secure digital space
- Strengthen international data governance and govern AI for humanity
Why Build n Blaze Endorses the GDC
At the intersection of today’s greatest technological disruptors, Build n Blaze has pioneered standards-based digital transformation rooted in interoperability, trust, risk management, and user-centered design.
