 ICT is essential for 21st century infrastructure. ICTs are an essential pathway to gender equality and gender empowerment. ICTs are uniquely powerful to empower disadvantaged peoples everywhere. eLearning will bring quality education to everyone everywhere. There's an estimated 200 million fewer women than men that owns a mobile phone. Now that can't be right. We need to connect everyone and everything to a better future. Gender equality is having the conditions for equal opportunities to have access to all economic, social and cultural goods in society. Universal access to healthcare can be achieved by global connectivity. Mobile broadband has the greatest potential to transform education. No matter where you're born or where you live, you can have access to world-class education through eLearning. ICTs are essential in building 21st century infrastructure in achieving sustainable industrialization, in fostering innovation. Inclusive quality education and lifelong learning for all. This is goal number four of the sustainable development agenda 2030. Both of them, access to new technologies, ICTs and education combined, are the most transformative agenda for sustainable development. Under its new digital strategy, Switzerland is committed to equal access to the internet for the world's entire population, to combating poverty through ICTs and to linking the results of the World Summit on the Information Society with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. Let's use ICT in broadband to drive a smart agriculture and fisheries revolution to help feed our planet and eradicate hunger. The world is awash in big data, a real-time digital ocean of information on human well-being. We must unlock its power for sustainable development through partnerships for the goals. Let's use broadband to make sure that everyone has access to good health services and to create conditions for the well-being of human populations. Partnership is the golden thread for all the SDGs. Without partnership and indeed without technology, we cannot make a difference. We need to work together to implement the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. Working together is absolutely crucial in reaching our SDG goals. It's the only way we're going to make a substantial difference in the world today. We will never achieve the 17 SDGs without universal and affordable connectivity for all.
