The #General_Information_Authority participated in the proceedings of the second edition of the Permanent Libyan Economic Forum, #Invest_in_Libya, held in #Tripoli on November 11 and 12, 2026, with broad participation from officials, international experts, #Private_Sector representatives, and investors.
Represented by Eng. Adel Juma Al-Toumi, Director of the Experts Office at the General Information Authority, the Authority took part in the third panel discussion titled “Digital Transformation and Its Role in Enhancing the Competitiveness of the Libyan Economy.” During the session, he outlined the Authority’s vision regarding the importance of #Data_Governance, the development of national legislation, and #Digital_Public_Infrastructure (DPI), as well as the role of the #National_Data_Exchange (or National Data Distributor) in achieving integration and interoperability among government databases.
The participation also highlighted key national projects and platforms, foremost among them the #Open_Data_Platform—which comprises 166 datasets—alongside the #Procurement_and_Tenders_Platform, the #Digital_Innovations_Map, and the #Qudurat platform for assessing digital skills.
The Authority affirmed that data has become a strategic national and economic resource, and that developing digital infrastructure and integrating government systems serve as fundamental pillars for improving the #Business_Environment, promoting #Transparency, stimulating #Investment and #Innovation, and supporting the transition toward a competitive and sustainable #Digital_Economy.
This participation comes as part of the Authority’s ongoing efforts to leverage data and digital technologies in support of #Economic_Development and to expand partnerships between government institutions and the private sector, thereby contributing to building #Digital_Libya and strengthening the competitiveness of the national economy.
