Unlocking the ICT Potential in Asia and the Pacific
Friday, 10 May
4:00 p.m. - 5:30 p.m.
There is no doubt that information and communication technology
(ICT) has changed the world and is shaping the 21st century. Many fear
that ICT is increasing the gap between the richer and poorer countries
and people. Others are confident that ICT will bring about progress
for everyone. The reality is that ICT is a potentially powerful tool,
which must be effectively applied to benefit developing countries and
the poor. This seminar will bring together leaders of the ICT industry
and development practitioners to consider the following questions in
the context of Asia and the Pacific:
- What are the ICT opportunities and risks for developing countries?
- How can developing countries capture the benefits of the
ICT revolution?
