The Global Development Conference 2025 (GDC 2025) will explore the multifaceted dimensions of inclusive digital transformation and its role in shaping sustainable development outcomes through the theme – ‘Inclusive Digital Transformation: Social Impacts and Technological Innovations’. As digital technologies continue to revolutionise economies and societies worldwide, it is crucial to examine their social impacts and ensure that technological innovations benefit all segments of society, particularly in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). GDC 2025, organised by the Global Development Network will take place in Clermont-Ferrand, France from October 28 to 30, 2025. It will be co-hosted by the Fondation pour les Études et Recherches sur le Développement International (FERDI) and the Centre d’Études et de Recherches sur le Développement International (CERDI) as part of their collaboration under the Pôle Clermontois de Développement International
