The strategy aims to build and sustain positive collaborations with network operators and internet governance bodies in the Asia Pacific. By engaging in collaborative projects, the strategy identifies key players and potential joint ventures, establishing a team to steer these collaborations efficiently. Regular updates, feedback solicitation, and case study documentation strengthen these partnerships. An example of this could be working with a regional internet governance group to enhance cybersecurity measures.
Participation in industry events is another core strategy, allowing for networking and visibility. Securing speaking slots at conferences, hosting workshops, and leveraging social media promotes thought leadership. For instance, sponsoring a key networking event can lead to increased recognition and future collaborative opportunities.
Establishing knowledge-sharing platforms is critical for fostering information exchange. By organizing webinars, publishing research, and encouraging cross-organizational dialogue, stakeholders are engaged in continuous learning. An example includes creating an online forum where experts can discuss innovations, ensuring sustained interest through recognition and engagement monitoring.
