The information- and communication technologies (ICT) are currently the most important key technologies all over the world. The application of these technologies also offers significant potentials for poverty reduction and a social, democratic and sustainable development.

New technologies are certainly not a universal remedy for poverty reduction - but a reasonable application of ICT in terms of development policies and economics can substantially contribute to the development of a country.

The non-profit association Digitale Brücke / Digital Bridges e.V. is actively working on integrating the developing countries in the global information society and promotes the use of information- and communication technologies as instrument to improve development cooperation.
