Ministers and tech leaders will gather in Geneva driven by a strengthened commitment to a people-centred digital future

Geneva, 04 June 2026 : From 6 to 10 July, the world’s leaders in tech will gather in Geneva at the largest forum dedicated to ICT and digital for development, taking place for the first time since the 20-year review of the World Summit on the Information Society (WSIS) by the UN General Assembly last year.

Bolstered by the strengthened UN commitment to a digital future that puts people first, ministers, tech leaders, academia and NGOs will convene at the WSIS Forum 2026 to address urgent challenges in connectivity, online safety and emerging technologies like artificial intelligence (AI).

With 2.2 billion people still offline globally – and with the 6 billion that are connected seeking the most benefit from digital technologies – this year’s edition builds on the pledge from UN member states to work together toward sustainable digital progress for the next decade.

“With renewed energy from the 20-year review and a new horizon stretching to 2035, there is no better moment to deliver on the WSIS promise of people-centred digital development,” said ITU Secretary-General Doreen Bogdan-Martin. “The WSIS Forum 2026 is where the world comes together to align tech innovation with the priorities of all people and our planet.”

One platform for including all voices

At the WSIS Forum 2026, a high-level track will bring ministers, regulators, chief executives, civil society leaders, ambassadors, mayors and heads of UN agencies together to share priorities, exchange policy insights, and identify areas for collective action.

The five-day forum will also feature the annual WSIS Prizes, a global contest recognizing innovative projects that use technology to advance global development goals.

Set to take place at ITU headquarters and Geneva’s Palexpo convention centre, the event will coincide with ITU’s AI for Good Global Summit 2026 and the Global Dialogue on AI Governance, convened by the United Nations General Assembly.

Advancing a people-centered digital future

Since its launch in Geneva in 2003, the WSIS process has helped expand digital access and inclusion, with global Internet use rising from 15 per cent to 74 per cent over two decades.

Last year, the UN General Assembly’s landmark WSIS+20 resolution reaffirmed the commitment of countries across the globe to building a digital future grounded in human rights and the principles of the UN Charter. The resolution called for accelerating projects to close digital divides, stepping up investment in digital infrastructure and skills, and adopting policies that support sustainable digital development.

The upcoming WSIS Forum will emphasize turning these global commitments into action, while showcasing new developments in the digital space, including AI, digital public infrastructure and cybersecurity.

The Forum is co-hosted by ITU and the Swiss Confederation, and is co-organized with the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO), the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) and UN Trade (UNCTAD) with the engagement of more than 50 UN partners.

Built to help property management teams engage prospects faster and more effectively, Ria automates lead nurturing from first inquiry to tour booking and follow-up.

Ria engages prospective renters through personalized SMS and email, answers routine questions, encourages tour scheduling, sends reminders and re-engages leads who miss tours or drop off. By handling the repetitive follow-up, Ria helps leasing teams focus on higher-value conversations and closing leases.

“Generic automation isn’t enough anymore,” said Merrick Lackner, CEO of Rently. “The next phase of AI understands the leasing workflow, connects to real-time prospect activity and works alongside your team, not as another disconnected tool. Ria gives operators the speed and scale they need while keeping leasing teams focused on the moments where human connection matters most.”

Rently Intelligence is fully integrated within Rently’s ecosystem. Ria is the only AI that already knows what stage each lead is in. Unlike other AI tools that start cold, Ria uses context from the full prospect journey—from the first listing view to scheduled and completed self-tours—to convert leads more effectively and re-engage when drop-offs happen. Ria is also plug-and-play; most go live within a day, not weeks.

Key capabilities include:

• 24/7 lead engagement: Responds to inquiries via SMS and email, including after hours.
• Automated lead nurturing: Personalized follow-ups that encourage prospects to schedule or reschedule tours.
• Missed-tour re-engagement: Follows up with prospects to keep leads from going cold.

Featuring a 24/7 AI Store Manager, the solution combines front-of-house, back-of-house and headquarters operations to support data-driven decision-making across chain restaurants.
 

 

With an annual output value of NT$40 billion, Taiwan’s hotpot sector stands as one of the largest segments within its food and beverage (F&B) industry. Nevertheless, a persistent labor crunch has left frontline store management grappling with ongoing staffing gaps. In order to resolve this labor-induced management deficit, WiXtar, the leading brand in F&B technology under the BenQ Qisda Group, has partnered with 6owl Door to debut the world’s first Agentic AI hotpot store at COMPUTEX 2026. The actionable deployment of Agentic AI in the F&B industry is demonstrated by a “24/7 AI Store Manager” that integrates front-of-house (FOH) consumer experiences, back-of-house (BOH) management, and corporate headquarters (HQ) decision-making. This highlights the Group’s strategic layout in “AI solutions and smart manufacturing.”

According to the 2025 annual report of the Ministry of Labor, annual salaries in the food and beverage (F&B) sector surged by 7.5%. However, persistent vacancy rates and staff turnover suggest that the labor shortage cannot be resolved through wage adjustments alone. Lee Yu-hsuan, General Manager of 6owl Door, noted: “The real challenge for chain restaurants stems from rapid employee turnover alongside inexperienced new hires, compounding the operational complexities of frontline management. From labor scheduling and inventory control to sales forecasting and anomaly detection, numerous tasks that once relied on empirical judgment are precisely the scenarios where AI delivers its greatest value.”

AI 24/7 Store Patrol Robot: The World’s First “24/7 AI Store Manager” Delivering Round-the-Clock Inspections
Integrating 360-degree panoramic imaging and Vision-Language Models (VLM) scene recognition and analytics technology, this system automatically collects images for analysis and converts them into execution commands via WiXtar’s AI decision-making platform. Additionally, the system recalibrates detection tasks based on mealtimes. This includes conducting sanitation and personnel grooming audits pre-service; monitoring food preparation volumes in-service; and managing safety and disaster-prevention protocols post-service. This 24/7, uninterrupted smart inspection support offloads multiple manual inspection functions from frontline staff.

AI Self-Ordering Kiosk: The Sales Expert on Consumer Behavior and Preferences
In the front-of-house (FOH) customer touchpoints, self-ordering kiosks, QR code ordering, and the integration of VLM scene recognition and analysis enable the detection of customers’ hesitations or transactional friction in real time. Customers are then directed through the ordering process and given AI-based product and set-meal options. The endeavor to provide recommendations increases average order value (AOV) and alleviates the FOH manpower burden.

 

AI Decision-Making Platform: The Data-Driven Store AI Command Center
An AI decision-making advisor that offers actionable recommendations has been created by integrating omnichannel transactions, membership data, inventory, and ERP systems, and by leveraging D8AI’s AI Agent Builder platform. These recommendations include pre-opening ingredient prep and labor scheduling, mid-shift real-time sales intelligence, and post-closing operational insights and improvement plans. This advisor drives real-time frontline execution, enabling management decisions to transition from being “experience-driven to data-driven.” Simultaneously, it empowers corporate headquarters to proactively align with frontline demands in real time while maintaining a precise grasp on individual store performance.

AI Ordering and Receiving: The Food Waste Sentinel of the Smart Supply Chain
By incorporating historical sales data, weather, holiday calendars, and budgeting, the system automatically generates AI order recommendations. Upon receipt, the system uses VLM image recognition to identify incoming orders, automatically cross-reference the data, and complete receiving verification. This eliminates labor-intensive manual invoice entry and verification, enforcing a digital audit trail across the entire workflow to mitigate food waste and cut operational costs at the source.

From SaaS Platform to AI Infrastructure: WiXtar’s Digital Edge and Strategic Deployment Roadmap
According to May Kang, CEO of WiXtar, “In the age of Agentic AI, global SaaS is transitioning from licensing sales modules to actively driving business outcomes, fueling WiXtar’s evolution into an execution-level Agentic AI that empowers brands to build actionable, quantifiable AI infrastructure.

LOS ANGELES – (June 3, 2026) – Liferay, a leading provider of Digital Experience Platforms (DXPs), today announced the lunch of Liferay AI Hub, a standalone SaaS product that enables enterprise organizations to build, deploy, and manage AI agents through a low-code environment. Grounded in an organization’s own data and governed by its existing security policies, Liferay AI Hub is designed to give enterprises the speed and flexibility they need to adopt AI at scale without rebuilding the security infrastructure they already have in place. 

Enterprise AI initiatives often stall because of the complexity involved in deploying AI responsibly. Building governance from scratch can take months. Ensuring AI stays grounded in the right data, and never surfaces what it shouldn’t, requires infrastructure most organizations are still trying to build. And fragmented adoption across departments creates security gaps and redundant costs that often go unnoticed until it’s too late. Liferay AI Hub was built to solve those challenges. 

“The typical enterprise governance foundation includes access controls, data policies, and security infrastructure that have taken years to assemble. Liferay AI Hub lets organizations apply all of that to AI without starting over,” said Julia Molano, Director of Product Management at Liferay. “They can connect their preferred AI models, define agents tailored to their business, and deploy them in days, not months.” 

Governance by Design 

Liferay AI Hub is built on top of Liferay DXP’s existing security and access control framework. Rather than requiring organizations to build a separate governance layer for AI, Liferay AI Hub agents operate on behalf of authenticated DXP users, ensuring they can only access data that user is authorized to see. Every AI interaction is logged in a full audit trail, and sensitive information stays within the organization’s environment. The platform is designed to support enterprise compliance needs, including GDPR data locality, HIPAA access controls, and SOC 2 audit readiness. Liferay also holds ISO/IEC 42001 certification for its AI Management System, validating its commitment to responsible AI governance. 

Open Architecture, Any AI Service 

Unlike embedded AI solutions tied to a single vendor’s model, Liferay AI Hub is built on an open, model-agnostic architecture. Organizations can connect a wide range of LLMs, including models from providers such as Anthrophic, Google and OpenAI. As the AI landscape evolves, organizations can swap or add models without rebuilding agents or disrupting existing workflows, protecting their technology investments over time. Through the Model Context Protocol (MCP), customers can access data from any compatible system to be used by agents. 

Low-Code Agent Building for the Whole Enterprise

Liferay AI Hub provides a low-code studio designed for technical users, including existing IT resources, who need to configure, deploy, and manage AI agents without the overhead of custom development. Pre-built agent templates cover common use cases, including content creation. They can be reviewed, configured, and deployed in minutes. For more specialized requirements, teams can define bespoke agents grounded in their own documents, product catalogs, knowledge bases, and systems of record. 

Liferay AI Hub also supports multi-agent orchestration, allowing organizations to chain specialized agents into end-to-end business workflows, with complete human review checkpoints and event-driven triggers coming in later releases. Use cases span marketing content pipelines, supply chain risk monitoring, predictive audience segmentation, automated compliance review, proactive customer service triage, and more. 

Availability 

Liferay AI Hub is now available, Organizations interested in early access can visit www.liferay.com/capabilities/ai-hub to learn more.

The Engine in Action: ADC Payload Prioritization

 In a recent engagement, Ingenix applied its Biological Reasoning Engine to a dual-payload ADC prioritization problem for an oncology biotech which had thousands of possible payload configurations but lacked the experimental capacity to test them.

The Engine produced 15 candidate combinations. Under blind expert review by the biotech’s translational science team, the predictions broke down as follows:

– 5 were publicly known hypotheses.

– 2 were supported in existing literature but not widely cited.

– 3 had been confirmed by the biotech through internal experiments but never published and never disclosed to Ingenix.

– 5 were novel hypotheses not previously considered by the biotech team. Of these, the biotech flagged 3 as actionable candidates.

 The double-payload ADC space is too new for any AI system to have seen meaningful training data on it. The engine reached its predictions by reasoning from first principles about the underlying biology, rather than by pattern-matching against prior examples.

In short, insights that had taken the biotech several years of research and millions of euros to develop were accomplished by the Engine in a matter of minutes.

 Applications to the Qualified Access Program are now open at ingenix.ai/qap.
