Every year, the Wuzhen Summit invites more than 1,000 high-level representatives from government departments, international organizations, leading internet companies, industry organizations and academic institutions to carry out dialogues and exchanges on topics related to the global internet development and governance. Over the past eleven years, the Summit has continuously gathered wisdom, built consensus, and deepened digital cooperation. It has developed into a high-end global platform promoting shared benefits and joint internet governance, as well as exchange and cooperation in the digital economy. This initiative has gained significant attention, strong support, and wide recognition from the international community.

It aims to help the international community follow the trend of digitization, networking and intelligence in the information age, tackle security challenges together, benefit people globally, and build a community with a shared future in cyberspace.
