We help grow the Internet.

One-third of the world’s population isn’t connected. We are committed to closing the digital divide by bringing together the people and technology needed to give everyone the access they want.

We make the Internet stronger.

We advocate for a secure, trusted and more resilient Internet. We defend the Internet from those who could make it less secure, less resilient, and less open.

We shape the Internet of the future.

We are a global movement that champions an Internet of hope, opportunity, and celebrates humanity. But Internet access is no longer a luxury. It is a virtual lifeline. Be part of the solution.

2023 Year in Review

Over 2.6 billion people worldwide lack Internet access, and for those connected, many lack adequate laws and practices that safeguard their online privacy.

Since 1992, we’ve made it our mission to change this. With the dedicated contributions of our community and partners, we work to extend the Internet’s reach and make it secure.

In our 2023 Year in Review, we spotlight our progress and our global community’s vital role in this.

”There’s no better place to meet interesting, internationally-minded people with a similar mission. You can have your coffee around the corner. But if you want to see the world, you need to have your coffee with someone from the Internet Society.”
