SYNC, an organization dedicated to bridging the gap between Silicon Valley and Syria’s tech ecosystem, has announced a strategic collaboration with the Syrian Ministry of Communications and Information Technology. The partnership focuses on restoring global digital services within the country, addressing long-standing technical and diplomatic barriers that have isolated Syria from the international digital economy. This initiative represents a critical step toward reintegrating Syrian talent and businesses into the global technological landscape.
Gathering Insights For High-Level Diplomatic Discussions
To ensure the restoration efforts are aligned with practical needs, SYNC is actively collecting insights from local stakeholders regarding current challenges and digital priorities. The data gathered from the Syrian tech community will directly inform upcoming high-level meetings between SYNC representatives and the U.S. Department of State, as well as the U.S. Chamber of Commerce. By acting as a liaison, SYNC aims to facilitate a more nuanced understanding of the Syrian digital environment among international policy-makers and trade organizations.
Rebuilding Syria’s Digital Infrastructure And Connectivity
The primary goal of this collaboration is to identify systemic obstacles preventing the deployment and usage of global digital platforms in Syria. Restoration of these services is viewed as essential for local entrepreneurs, researchers, and tech professionals who require access to international tools, cloud services, and collaboration platforms to remain competitive. This effort follows SYNC’s broader mission of fostering innovation and rebuilding the country’s scientific and technology sectors through global networking and strategic local partnerships.
