On September 18 on the margins of the UN General Assembly, New America, a nonprofit, nonpartisan think tank, will convene a landmark event for the emerging field of digital public goods. Heads of state and government, multilateral organizations, civil society leaders, technologists, and some of the world’s largest funders will come together with the goal of launching a decade of work to develop open digital platforms for the public sector.
