Pacific E-commerce Symposium 2026

About the Project

The Inaugural Pacific E-commerce Symposium 2026 is a flagship regional initiative under the Pacific E-commerce Initiative that will convene governments, development partners, private sector representatives, civil society organisations, and regional stakeholders from 30 November to 4 December 2026 at the Pacific Islands Forum Secretariat Headquarters in Suva, Fiji. Building on the implementation of the Pacific Regional E-commerce Strategy and Roadmap, the Symposium will provide a dedicated platform for dialogue, collaboration, and knowledge sharing on advancing digital trade and e-commerce development across the Pacific. The event will feature high-level discussions, technical sessions, innovation showcases, networking opportunities, and regional coordination meetings aimed at strengthening partnerships, promoting inclusive digital economies, and accelerating practical solutions to regional e-commerce challenges. As the first event of its kind in the Pacific, the Symposium seeks to elevate the visibility of Pacific e-commerce priorities and foster stronger regional cooperation to support sustainable and resilient economic growth in the Blue Pacific.
