- What we do as an organization (100-word description)
- The World Summit Award (WSA) is the global initiative to select and promote the world's best e-Content and innovative ICT applications. WSA was started in 2003 in the framework of the UN’s World Summit on the Information Society (WSIS) as a contribution of the Austrian Government to the global effort to bridge the digital divide and close the content gap. WSA activities include national contests and selections of best practice, a global contest held every 2 years and content-focused national and international conferences with exhibitions — the WSA Road Show.
WSA works to strengthen entrepreneurship within content industries and to bring about economic and cultural development through the creative use of ICTs.
