GC3B 2025
The Swiss Federal Department of Foreign Affairs (FDFA) and the Global Forum on Cyber Expertise (GFCE) are thrilled to officially announce that the second edition of the Global Conference on Cyber Capacity Building (GC3B) is scheduled to convene in Geneva, Switzerland on the 13 – 14 May 2025. The conference will take place at the International Conference Center Geneva (CICG).
The second iteration of the GC3B will build on the successes of its inaugural edition, which took place in November 2023 in Ghana. Responding to the need for a high-level platform that elevates discussions on cyber capacity building onto the global governance agenda, the GC3B is the first event to convene policymakers and leading experts from across the world to catalyze action for cyber resilient development. The GC3B 2025 will also build on the process of the Accra Call for Cyber Resilient Development, which is a milestone document presented at the first conference. The 2025 edition of the conference will further aid the coordination of global cyber capacity building efforts, helping unlock financial resources and improve international cooperation.
Why cyber capacity building? To ensure a free, open, and secure digital world, every country should have the resources, knowledge, and skills they need to invest in their digital future. Nations should work together and support each other with these capabilities, so that no country is left behind in their digital evolution. After all, a chain is only as strong a s the weakest link.

11th and Final Substantive Session – U.N. OEWG on security of and in the use of information and communications technologies 2021-2025
The 11th Substantive Session of the UN Open-Ended Working Group (OEWG) on ICT Security in 2025 will be a pivotal moment, marking the conclusion of the group’s work. The final session will focus on synthesizing all outputs, including solidifying norms for responsible state behavior and finalizing confidence-building measures (CBMs).
The session will also wrap up capacity-building discussions and focus on finalizing the group’s comprehensive report. This report will offer actionable recommendations for global cooperation on ICT security, setting the foundation for the establishment of a future permanent mechanism.
One of the session’s key priorities will be resolving the ongoing accreditation procedure for non-state stakeholders. This will allow them to effectively contribute to the process, share valuable expertise, and enhance the inclusivity of the dialogue.
Finally, the session will aim to reach consensus on how international law applies to ICT security, establishing clear regulatory frameworks for cyberspace governance. As the OEWG’s mandate comes to an end, this session will provide the blueprint for future international ICT security governance.
