To all IoT/digital economy enterprises, international organizations, and government agencies,

In alignment with the United Nations' global digital cooperation and sustainable development goals, and to foster digital transformation and innovation in the global intelligently interconnected digital economy, the World Internet of Things Convention plans to establish a cohort of 2026 demonstration enterprises for the intelligently interconnected digital economy worldwide. This initiative seeks to set a global benchmark for advanced digital economies supported by IoT, providing reference points for the United Nations, governments and enterprises across the globe. These exemplars will serve as pivots for steering the innovation of the intelligently interconnected digital economy, enhancing the smart paradigms of human life, industry and labor, and ultimately supporting the building of a community with a shared future for mankind.

The World Internet of Things Convention Organizing Committee is now soliciting self-nominations from relevant enterprises of different countries and regions, and recommendations for global demonstration enterprises from government agencies and international organizations. The application and recommendation will end by July 31, 2026. The selected enterprises will be officially announced during the 2026 World Internet of Things Convention, with the awarding of official licenses and certificates. We encourage the active participation of governments and enterprises worldwide to collectively advance innovative economic and social development.

The announcement is hereby issued.
