Digital Age… Converging of Policies and ICT Solutions
GPPC 2007 Egypt

The Global Public Policy Conference (GPPC) is a flagship event of the World Information Technology and Services Alliance (WITSA)—a consortium of over 69 information technology (IT) industry associations from economies around the world.
This international conference focuses on global policies affecting the IT industry and is attended by over 500 senior executives, government officials and policy makers. One of the principal reasons for participating, is that ICTE companies gain an excellent opportunity to target their products and services at policy makers and business leaders.

Taking place once every two years and commencing in 1999, the conference is hosted in a different country each time, with the leading ICTE association of that country organizing the event. In November 2007, GPPC will be coming to Egypt with the Egyptian Information, Telecommunications, Electronics and Software Alliance (Eitesal) as the organizer. Eitesal was established in April 2004 as Egypt's main ICTE association driving the development, promotion and transformation of the Egyptian information telecommunications, electronics and software industry.

Primarily known for its long and rich history, this birthplace of civilization has a lot more to offer than the Great Pyramids of Giza and temples of Luxor. For the past number of years, positioning Egypt on the global ICTE map has become a top priority for a number of stakeholders throughout Egypt. A number of non-ICT sectors have embraced ICT as the way forward, and donors from around the world are focusing their resources and assistance on Egypt’s ICT development. The Government of Egypt has made huge strides in the direction of ICT policy and regulation starting with the establishment of the Ministry of Communications and Information Technology (MCIT) in October 1999.

GPPC 2007 Egypt — under the theme "Digital Age… Converging of Policies and ICT Solutions" — will provide a platform for discourse relating to the development of manual to electronic applications within Egypt and the region.
