What is Geneva Cyber Week?

Geneva Cyber Week (GCW) is an annual global platform to advance international cooperation and resilience in cyberspace. Building on Geneva’s unique role as a hub for multilateral diplomacy, digital governance, and cybersecurity expertise, Geneva Cyber Week fosters inclusive dialogue, collaboration and practical engagement across governments, industry, academia, and civil society.

Following the success of its inaugural edition in 2025, which gathered nearly 1,900 participants from over 100 countries, Geneva Cyber Week 2026 will continue to connect policymakers, industry leaders, researchers and civil society representatives. Together, they will address the evolving challenges and opportunities at the intersection of technology, security and international governance.

Geneva Cyber Week 2026 is organized by the United Nations Institute for Disarmament Research (UNIDIR) and the Swiss Federal Department of Foreign Affairs (FDFA). It is supported by Geneva's broader digital and cybersecurity community.
