A global platform mobilizing expertise and collective action to advance shared digital priorities
The Digital Cooperation Organization (DCO), the world’s first standalone international organization dedicated to inclusive and sustainable digital economy growth, today announced the launch of the Global Expert Community (GEC) — a new platform designed to mobilize expertise and advance international collaboration in support of high-impact digital initiatives across DCO Member States and beyond.
The GEC reflects the DCO’s continued commitment to turning digital cooperation into action by expanding access to specialized expertise and strengthening collaboration across sectors and borders. As digital transformation reshapes economies and societies worldwide, the Community is designed to convert global perspectives and practical expertise into innovative solutions that accelerate progress toward more inclusive and sustainable digital economies.
Ms. Deemah AlYahya, Secretary-General of the DCO, said: “Today’s digital challenges require stronger collaboration and access to diverse expertise. Through the Global Expert Community, we are establishing a platform that transforms knowledge into actionable impact and strengthens our collective capacity to build more inclusive, resilient, and future-ready digital economies.”
“By bringing together experts from across sectors and regions, we aim to accelerate knowledge exchange, foster collaboration, and support the development of practical solutions that drive meaningful and measurable impact through international digital cooperation,” she added.
Experts within the GEC will contribute through expert dialogues and strategic discussions, capacity-building initiatives, advisory contributions, and the development of practical knowledge resources that support informed decision-making and effective implementation. The Community supports expertise across a broad range of digital economy priorities, including Artificial Intelligence, Digital Trade, Digital Investment, Data and Digital Infrastructure, Digital Talent and Skills, Digital Economy Policy and Governance, Emerging Technologies, Digital Inclusion and Innovation, Cybersecurity and Trust, and Digital Transformation and Adoption.
Participation is voluntary, with engagement opportunities activated based on initiative needs and relevance of expertise. Applications are now open globally to qualified professionals from government entities, international organizations, academic institutions, the private sector, civil society, and independent practitioners.
Through the GEC, the DCO aims to strengthen international collaboration and unlock new opportunities for experts worldwide to contribute their knowledge and insights toward shaping practical, high-impact solutions for the future of the digital economy.
