The session will gather top leaders, policymakers, and experts from governments, global bodies, media and tech.
BRIDGE Summit 2025 has revealed plans for a closed, high-level diplomatic session to be held under the auspices of UNESCO on the opening day of the event. The meeting will focus on the future of information integrity at a time when rapid technological change and digital influence are increasingly shaping political and economic decisions around the world.
The session will gather prominent leaders, senior policymakers and international specialists from government bodies, global institutions, major media organisations and influential technology companies. Positioned as one of the Summit’s most strategic engagements, it aims to encourage in-depth dialogue among key players.
Participants will examine the profound shifts transforming the global information landscape, addressing urgent challenges linked to misinformation, the rapid spread of digital content and the growing power of narratives in shaping public opinion, diplomacy and society. Discussions will also look at new models of international cooperation designed to protect truth, rebuild public trust and support a unified global response to these emerging issues.
The initiative reflects BRIDGE Summit’s mission to serve as an international platform that brings together governments, multilateral organisations, technology leaders and experts to build a shared understanding of the forces redefining the future of media and communication.
Summit organisers emphasised that the objective of the session is not to prescribe ready-made solutions, but to create meaningful avenues for collective insight, highlight areas of common ground among diverse stakeholders, and lay the foundation for sustained global dialogue on information integrity. The outcomes of this closed meeting will help shape future collaboration with international partners working in media development, digital literacy, and the protection of narrative integrity.
