We believe in a world where the Internet means opportunity. We care about its future.

Together with our global community, we extend the Internet’s reach and protect its long-term well-being.

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.

Delivering on the Internet’s Promise

The Internet is not a given constant that we can take for granted. When the Internet is at risk, everything we love about it is at stake. It is up to us to secure its future.

Our 2024 efforts continue to bring the Internet to those who need it while defending it from threatening forces so that everyone can access the opportunities it brings.

”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.”
Harald Summa
Member of the Supervisory Board, DE-CIX, Internet Society organization member

We work together to ensure the Internet thrives and everyone can benefit from it.
