"Information and communications technology (ICT) is often touted as being the cure to end economic depression." - Engineering News, 20 May 2005.
The gap in the African ICT sector has been realised and in so doing, a number of initiatives have taken place. Terrapinn Limited has taken the initiative in realising Nepad goals and uniting the African continent through Government Technology World Africa 2005.
This is an event where resources can be shared and smart partnerships formed among the leaders in the ICT sector. It creates a platform for all industry experts to pinpoint technology challenges, developments and future innovations that can be built upon. It is where vendors, manufacturers and suppliers can meet to demonstrate products, enhance profits and differentiate themselves from competitors.
The Government Technology World Africa 2005 conference is the place where government decision-makers from all tiers of government throughout Africa meet and do business with technology solution providers. It is a forum where ideas are sourced, the latest technology is demonstrated and partnerships are formed to further the provision of better government services to the people.
The exhibition is dedicated to all buyers and sellers in the technology industry. It is an outstanding opportunity for high-value solution vendors to demonstrate products, form partnerships and increase their profile in this market. Visitors will be senior level decision-makers with the power to purchase: local and national government, municipalities, government agencies, etc, will visit the exhibition. This event is the best place in Africa to network and form partnerships that will broaden your reach into this lucrative market.
Become an integral part of this event by joining major industry players, such as Sun Microsystems, Symantec, Fundani, AmVia, 3Com and Kago at the Government Technology World Africa 2005.
"It is common knowledge that it will fuel the economy, create jobs and assist to make SA a global player in the IT arena. Without government intervention the already substantial digital divide will simply widen, making it impossible for South Africans to compete favourably in the global IT marketplace." - Engineering News, 20 May 2005
Government Technology World Africa will be the place where government officials will meet to discuss technology challenges. Topics include technology-enabled government in Africa, international best practice development and infrastructure, advancing government capabilities, maximising public service efficiency, open source software development in Africa, disaster recovery as part of corporate strategy and the future role of technology in government.
Without the aid of technology as a viable administrative partner, African governments risk a loss of productivity that will ultimately affect the performance of their respective economies. Designed to empower professionals, Government Technology World Africa will be an event that will connect Africa for Africans.
