Deputy Commissioner of Communications of Cyprus Mr. Petros Galides, in his capacity as Chairman of the European and Mediterranean Regulators Group (EMERG) and Member of the Board of the ITU Digital Regulation Network (DRN), participated in the World Summit on the Information Society (WSIS Forum), held by the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) in Geneva from 7 to 11 July 2025.
Mr. Galides was a speaker in the session titled “Digital Ecosystem Builders in Action: Redefining the Role of ICT Regulators”, where he presented both EMERG initiatives and the innovative actions of the Office of the Commissioner of Communications in Cyprus.
In his statement, Mr. Galides said:
“Transformative technologies enable Regulators to be even more proactive and evidence based. The impact of regulatory measures can be tested in safe environments before implementation and can be continuously monitored and optimised in near real time.
Cross sectoral and global collaboration is the answer to most effectively address the increasingly complex challenges of the digital age, like digital security and ensuring the use of AI for good, with collaborative platforms like EMERG and the ITU proving invaluable.
Trust, interoperability, and shared objectives have been, and will be, critical success factors. Technology enables smarter regulation, but it’s the human and institutional collaboration that ensures it is used wisely.”
