This networking session aims to serve as a hub for sharing ideas and forming partnerships for future collaborations related to digital finance inclusion in the realms of international development and Internet governance. The intersection of digital technologies and financial services presents new uncertainties but also unprecedented opportunities. Digital finance is poised to introduce innovative methods to bolster advancements in key sectors such as economic development, infrastructure, and access to services, while also addressing the digital divide between technologically advanced and developing nations. This session will explore critical questions on how digital financial tools can reduce poverty, enhance economic growth, and support sustainable development in underserved regions. By bringing together a diverse group of experts and practitioners from various fields, the session aims to highlight emerging challenges and discuss potential solutions that can drive inclusive growth and development. The goal is to facilitate a series of lightning rounds to share a variety of ideas and perspectives, focusing on the long-term impacts of digital finance for low and middle income countries. The session will culminate in crafting a set of possible goals and indicators that could shape our future agenda for engaging in the IGF. Participants, both onsite and online, will engage in vibrant discussions, with the networking event providing a live feed via YouTube and the IGF’s remote participation platform.
