Where Policy Meets Practice
The WSIS Forum 2026 runs 6–10 July in Geneva, co-hosted by ITU and the Swiss Confederation, and co-organized with UNESCO, UNDP, and UNCTAD. The Forum has long served as a convening point for the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals and the WSIS Action Lines, where government leaders, regulators, and technologists negotiate not just what digital transformation should look like, but how it gets built responsibly. This year’s session sits alongside a broader agenda spanning digital inclusion, quantum technologies, future connectivity, and education, alongside the AI and cybersecurity discussions CMI has been invited to help lead as part of its joint participation with CMAI.

Representing CMI, Mr. Raj Shah, Founder & CEO, will join as a Speaker, offering industry perspective on how AI is reshaping both the opportunities and the threat landscape facing telecom operators worldwide.
“Telecom networks have become the nervous system of the digital economy, which means every AI capability we add to them also expands the surface area operators have to defend. The organizations that treat AI and cyber resilience as a single strategic conversation, rather than two separate ones, are the ones that will be best positioned as this transformation accelerates.”
— Mr. Raj Shah, CEO & Founder, Coherent Market Insights

● AI-enabled cyber resilience and next-generation security frameworks
● Digital trust, infrastructure protection, and secure telecom transformation
● Market trends shaping the future of AI-driven telecommunications

During his session, Mr. Shah will present key findings from the paper, offering practical recommendations to help telecom operators, governments, and regulators strengthen cyber resilience while adopting AI responsibly.
