Two weeks ago, Geneva played host to the WSIS+20 High-Level Event, marking twenty years of progress under the banner of the World Summit on the Information Society ( ).

At its heart, WSIS+20 was a celebration of collaboration, shared purpose, and long-standing commitment to inclusive digital development. Most notably, the event served as a strong reaffirmation of the multi-stakeholder approach to Internet governance.

For the RIPE NCC, the forum provided an invaluable opportunity to highlight real-world examples of effective multi-stakeholder collaboration, demonstrating how governments and the Internet technical community can work side by side to turn shared digital development goals into positive, measurable outcomes.

A key moment during the week was the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between the RIPE NCC and the Jordan Telecommunications Regulatory Commission (TRC-Jordan). This agreement formalises a strategic partnership aimed at enhancing Internet infrastructure, capacity building, and digital resilience in Jordan and throughout the region.

Hans Petter Holen, the Managing Director of the RIPE NCC, said: “The MoU with TRC Jordan is not only a bilateral achievement, it is a leading example of how governments and the technical community can join forces to build a sustainable and secure digital future.”

🔗 Read more on why the WSIS+20 Review process matters, and the role of the RIPE NCC in Internet technical coordination: https://www.ripe.net/community/internet-governance/

Co-hosted by the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) and the Swiss Confederation, and co-organised with ITU, UNESCO, UNDP, and UN Trade and Development (UNCTAD).

Another successful chapter wrapped up at Capacity Eurasia, where the RIPE NCC took an active role—chairing two high-level panels on Emerging Digital Hubs and Investment in Digital Infrastructure & Subsea Routes. These sessions brought together senior executives from leading organisations including Meta, Nokia, Vodafone, Turkcell, TurkNet, and the Georgian National Regulator.

Our colleagues Vahan Hovsepyan and Jad El Cham, MBA joined these industry leaders to discuss how closer regional collaboration can strengthen digital resilience and unlock new opportunities across the RIPE NCC service region.

Here are some highlights:

- The Emerging Digital Hubs panel spotlighted stronger cross-border collaboration and infrastructure resilience. Vodafone introduced its KARDESSA project—set to connect the EU with Türkiye and Georgia, with the potential to expand to other Black Sea counties, reinforcing regional subsea infrastructure.
- The Georgian regulator shared plans to link Georgia with Romania and Bulgaria via new subsea cables. Our colleague Jad El Cham showcased how RIPE NCC’s measurement tools, such as RIPEstat and RIPE Atlas can support outage analysis and build redundancy into regional networks.
- From data for decision-makers to capacity-building across the region, Vahan Hovsepyan underlined our mission to support our community as the RIR and Secretariat of the RIPE community.

Great to see growing interest in collaboration—from connectivity research to strategic planning. Special thanks to the organisers and looking forward to upcoming engagements!
