What comes to mind when you think about standards? Are they the invisible conveniences—like a power cable that works across devices and brands? Are they the hidden architecture of modern societies—like a shipping container that moves from ship to train to truck without repacking? When do standards unlock progress, and when do they get in the way? Share your questions! We will unpack the world of standards—what they are, what they do, how they work—following your lead.

Join us on March 5 for a fast-paced conversation with @WorldBankGroup experts exploring why standards are the “hidden architecture” shaping modern economies and societies—helping innovations scale, lowering costs, building trust, and opening markets.
