Turning Data into Action: An Executive Dialogue on Trusted Data, Seamless Connectivity, and Responsible AI Across the UN System

The world’s most complex challenges do not wait. Yet too often, the organisations best positioned to respond are held back—not by a lack of ambition, but by fragmented data, disconnected systems, and siloed processes that prevent real-time coordination and action.

The organisations making meaningful progress are not starting with AI alone. They are building the foundation that makes AI trustworthy and effective: a unified data layer, seamlessly connected systems, and the ability to act on information in real time.

Join us for an executive dialogue bringing together leaders from across the United Nations system to explore how to move from fragmentation to a trusted, connected, and actionable foundation.

This means not only harmonising data, but enabling secure, API-led connectivity and automating workflows across critical systems—so that information, decisions, and actions can flow seamlessly across agencies, partners, and missions.

Together, we will explore what it takes to build a foundation where data is governed and trusted, systems are interoperable, and intelligent agents can operate with confidence—supporting faster decisions, greater transparency, and measurable impact at scale.

Key takeaways:
• Why data interoperability, integrity, and connectivity are the true enablers of coordinated action across institutions—and how to achieve them
• How to identify and prioritise high-impact data domains aligned to mission-critical use cases
• How to enable secure, API-led connectivity and automate cross-system processes to unlock real-time coordination across agencies
• How leading organisations embed governance, accountability, and trust directly into AI-enabled systems from the outset
• What it takes in practice to move from fragmented systems and data silos to a connected, trusted, and actionable foundation
• How to transform data into real-time insights and actions, enabling more effective decision-making and mission impact

This is the shift from a reactive UN to an Agentic UN—where data is not only unified, but activated. Where systems are not only connected, but orchestrated. Where AI does not just inform decisions, but helps execute them.

In this model, humanitarian response becomes faster, resource mobilisation more intelligent, and every data point contributes directly to mission outcomes.

Grounded in real-world deployments and cross-sector experience, this session is designed as a pragmatic, action-oriented dialogue. You will leave with concrete approaches you can apply immediately, and a clear vision for how the UN system can evolve toward a more connected, intelligent, and impactful future.

We hope to see you on April 29!
