The Internet Society’s 2030 Strategy embodies our mission: the Internet is a resource to enrich people’s lives and a force for good in society.
Developed through an inclusive process led by our Board of Trustees, the Strategy reflects the diverse insights and perspectives of our global community, partners, and staff. It signifies and amplifies the following:
Our 2030 Strategy is a call for collective action, leveraging the value of one and the power of all, to ensure the Internet remains a sound infrastructure and transformative resource for years to come.
There are many challenges affecting people across the world, each as important as the other. In alignment with our mission, the Internet Society is committed to helping address these specific challenges in the next five years.
Global inequality
We believe the Internet is a powerful equalizer, giving people more opportunities to lead healthy and fulfilling lives. We will address global inequality by helping to connect the remaining 2.6 billion people who are not yet connected to the Internet and by ensuring it is open and globally connected.
Lack of trust in the Internet
We believe trust in the Internet is declining. People are concerned about safety and security online, for themselves and others. We will address the lack of trust by educating people to make safer choices and by ensuring the Internet is secure and trustworthy.
Our strategic goals are rooted in the global challenges we seek to address over the next five years and prioritize the actions we will take to improve the lives of people everywhere.
People everywhere have access to affordable, reliable, and resilient Internet.
People everywhere have an Internet experience that is safe, secure, and protects them online.
We are committed to the following impactful and measurable changes to improve our organizational capacity and effectiveness.
Our 2025 Action Plan outlines our priorities in 2025, the first year of our five-year strategy. These priorities demonstrate our collective ambition to ensure that the Internet is a resource that enriches people’s lives and is a force for good in society.
