Connect-World Global-ICT 2009 media pack
Theme: Connecting for a better world - opening the doors to progress through ICTs
The ITU Telecom World 2009 theme, ‘Open Networks - Connected Minds’, speaks to the same concerns that the leaders of government, industry and social institutions that have written about in our pages over the years - human regional and industrial development; access to ICT and information; the impact of new technologies; the viability of ICT business models; government policy; and the impact of ICTs upon the great issues that affect our society such as global warming.
Connect-World began 12 years ago as a publication dedicated to regional development. Over the years, we have broadened our scope to include every region of the world - developed and developing alike - dedicated to discussing the impact of ICT upon businesses, people and societies throughout the world. Information and communications technology connects the world’s people and opens the doors to opportunities.
Once again, we are inviting some of the world’s outstanding leaders of government, industry and social institutions to share their visions and help us understand how open networks can connect people and societies to create a better world.
The theme for the Connect-World Global Visionaries, Global Visions 2009 edition, will be: Connecting for a better world - opening the doors to progress through ICTs.
