 The Forum serves dual objectives - in light of the global economic challenges, where are the viable markets for the IT industry in Hong Kong, and what are the relevant value propositions where IT would effectively enhance the productivity and competitive advantages of business organizations, in particular the SMEs? Discussions will focus on the realizable values of IT, the challenges in growing the Hong Kong-based IT industry while fulfilling the expectations of businesses, and the role of Government in facilitating the sustainability of the IT industry in Hong Kong.
Service providers as well as user management will present their perspectives on the challenges and benefits of IT in this period of economic uncertainty. All are welcome to attend this informative Forum. |
