Honoring Libya’s technology pioneers during the “Tech Fathers” ceremony at the Information Governance Forum 2026.

Tech Fathers Ceremony

Written by Alaa Elsagier on . Posted in Achievements, الأخبار. No Comments on Tech Fathers Ceremony

On the evening of May 17, the “Tech Fathers” event was held.

“Tech Fathers” was never just another recognition ceremony… it was a moment of awe before history, and an extraordinary national tribute that called upon the very beginnings to finally honor those who shaped them.

There gathered the pioneers, the leaders, and those who planted the very first seeds in a land that had not yet understood the meaning of “technology,” so that we could say to them, publicly and with gratitude:

You did not merely build networks and institutions… you engineered the consciousness of a nation, ignited the spark of the first generation, and opened Libya’s doors to the technological future when they were still firmly closed.

These are the people who wrote the first lines in silence, in a time when technology was not a luxury, but an uncertain venture. They faced limited resources and the isolation of early beginnings, laying the foundations of infrastructure without ever seeking the spotlight.

Thank you for the hearts that carried the vision, and the hands that carved the path. Thank you to everyone who founded, taught, and paved the way — leaving behind a legacy measured not in data and numbers, but in the pulse of generations that carried the torch forward.

Tech Fathers | Documenting the Legacy, Honoring the Pioneers, Inspiring the Future.

This acceptance reflects the Foundation’s growing presence within the international ICT framework, particularly as the ITU is the United Nations specialized agency for digital technologies and telecommunications. The Union includes 194 Member States and over 1,000 entities comprising companies, universities, research institutions, and international and regional organizations.

Furthermore, the ITU provides a trusted global multi-stakeholder platform that brings together partners from the public and private sectors, academia, as well as international and regional organizations. This platform facilitates dialogue on key issues related to the ICT sector, enhancing opportunities for collaboration, knowledge exchange, and engagement in specialized international tracks.

This institutional advancement marks an important milestone in the journey of the Libyan Technology Foundation, reinforcing its growing presence in international forums related to digital transformation and telecommunications. It further supports its role in building professional relationships, leveraging international platforms, and contributing to shared technical and developmental priorities.

The Libyan Technology Foundation extends its sincere appreciation to all supporters, stakeholders, and the public. Special thanks go to the General Authority for Communications and Informatics (formerly the Ministry of Communications and Informatics – Libya), the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation – State of Libya, the Civil Society Commission, members of the Foundation, and everyone who contributed to achieving this important milestone.

The Foundation also commended the Authority’s support in facilitating its membership in the International Telecommunication Union (ITU), which strengthens its presence in international forums and reinforces its role as an active player in the technology sector.

During the meeting, the Foundation presented its “Digital Enablement” project to the Authority, which expressed strong interest and appreciation for the initiative, praising the Foundation’s efforts in promoting technological awareness and enhancing digital culture within society.
