Ensuring opportunities for a digital Pacific

Pacific colleagues must collaborate to maximise the impact of connectivity in the region and make technology work for its citizens and communities. The Pacific Connect Forum welcomes emerging Pacific leaders who are not only ‘tech savvy’ but are open-minded and willing to forge unity between Pacific Islands.

Connectivity is about people rather than technology

Pacific Islanders now straddle the analogue and digital worlds. While other cultures may have lost their traditional modes of communication, they remain strong in the Pacific, and Pacific Islanders should never forget long-standing cultural connections in pursuit of new technology.
