Remote Participation Hub Sponsor

We are honored to have the Internet Society Foundation as a key sponsor of the Africa Internet Forum (AfIGF) 2025. Their generous support is instrumental in making this year’s forum a success, particularly in enabling the remote participation hub in Safe Hub, Soweto, Gauteng.

By facilitating the hub, the Internet Society Foundation is helping to ensure that diverse voices from Gauteng, South Africa can actively engage in critical discussions on Internet governance, digital inclusion, and the future of the Internet. Their commitment to fostering an open, globally connected, and secure internet for everyone aligns perfectly with the goals of AfIGF.

We deeply appreciate their dedication to empowering communities and bridging the digital divide. This collaboration underscores the importance of multi-stakeholder partnerships in shaping a more inclusive and equitable digital future for Africa.

Thank you, Internet Society Foundation, for your invaluable support in making the AfIGF 2025 remote participation hub possible!
