GCF 2023 seeks to expand dialogue on these diverse challenges and opportunities, advance knowledge generation, and steer collaborative efforts. The forum will be charting the shared priorities through five sub-themes: Cyberspace Amidst Polycrisis, Cyber Growth Unlocked, Across Cyber Divides, Inside Cyber Minds, and Emerging Cyber Horizons.

The GCF was launched in February 2020 during Saudi Arabia’s G20 Presidency as a global platform to build a more resilient and better cyberspace. The platform emphasizes the importance of international collaboration among diverse stakeholders and nations to accomplish this goal.
