The International Think Tank is an invitation-only event for high-level executives and decision makers from leading countries around the world to share best practices. Showcasing thought leadership, the Think Tank offers an ongoing series of topics currently in the areas of broadband strategies and operations, connected health, and connected government.

Held in different locales each year, Think Tank events are based on two main plenary sessions, complemented by specific face-to-face, or virtual, benchmarking sessions with members. Each session widens the perspective of the discussion through the participation of an international guest who stimulates the debate. Prior guests hail from countries including Korea, Canada, and New Zealand.

The Think Tank was established by Cisco®, The Dutch Ministry of Economic Affairs, and the Belgian Federal Ministry of Economic Affairs and is limited to a number of national agencies from leading countries.
