Event Sponsor
We are honored to have the Internet Society Foundation as a key sponsor of the South Africa Internet Governance Forum (ZAIGF) 2025. Their generous support is instrumental in making this year’s forum a success, particularly in enabling remote participation hubs across Gauteng, Limpopo, Western Cape, and KwaZulu-Natal.
By facilitating these hubs, the Internet Society Foundation is helping to ensure that diverse voices from different regions of 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 ZAIGF.
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 South Africa.
