The 2026 Futures Forum convenes government leaders, industry experts, investors, and technology practitioners to examine Papua New Guinea’s strategic digital and economic priorities. The Forum will address global and regional technology trends, national digital transformation under GoPNG 2.0, and the management of key public systems including taxation, customs, immigration, cybersecurity, and critical infrastructure.

It will also showcase private sector innovation, productivity solutions, telecommunications and 5G developments, and PNG’s role in the global critical minerals market. By fostering dialogue and collaboration, the Forum aims to generate actionable insights, strengthen partnerships, and position Papua New Guinea as a resilient, connected, and digitally empowered economy ready to compete on the global stage.
