Information and Communication Technology (ICT) plays a transformative role in enabling the transition from an information-poor society to a knowledge society in developing countries. A knowledge society is characterized not merely by access to information, but by the capacity to generate, disseminate, and apply knowledge for social and economic development. In this context, ICT acts as both an enabler and a catalyst by expanding access to information, fostering innovation, strengthening institutions, and empowering citizens. However, its contribution is neither automatic nor uniform; it is shaped by policy design, institutional capacity, digital literacy, and socio-economic inequalities. ICT contributes to the emergence of a knowledge society by democratizing access to information. In many developing countries, traditional barriers such as geographical isolation, limited physical infrastructure, and inadequate educational facilities restrict the flow of knowledge. Digital technologies—particularly mobile internet, cloud computing, and digital platforms—reduce these barriers by enabling remote access to educational resources, government services, and market information. Online learning platforms, digital libraries, and open educational resources allow students and professionals to upgrade skills without relocating to urban centers. This diffusion of knowledge enhances human capital formation, which is central to a knowledge society. Another key contribution of ICT lies in fostering innovation ecosystems. Digital networks connect universities, research institutions, startups, and industries, enabling collaboration
