The two entities will collaborate to gather ICT industry experts, investors and stakeholders for the 1st edition of Africa Technology & Security Week.
Dubai, 05th August 2020: MIE Groups, through its local subsidiary Global Exhibitions Inc, is excited to announce a formidable partnership with Kenya ICT Action Network (KICTANet). Under the agreement, MIE Group and KICTANet will collaborate to gather ICT industry experts, investors and stakeholders for the 1st edition of Africa Technology & Security Week which will be held virtually on Africa’s leading virtual exhibition platform, Global Trade Week VE (GTW VE), from 21st – 25th September 2020.
KICTANet strives to ensure that policy making in the ICT sector adopts an open, accessible, human rights-based approach that is characterized by multi-stakeholder participation.
David Wang, the Chairman of MIE Groups said, “We have always been committed to building a robust set of strategic partners to deliver on our mandate to the industry. KICTANet is an important member of the ICT ecosystem, who will help to influence the creation and adoption of suitable policies and regulations during this period of rapid digital evolution.”
“This partnership puts us in a stronger position to influence policy in Kenya,” noted the KICTANet Chairman, Mr. Ali Hussein Kassim. “We are grateful to MIE Group for this incredible opportunity to realize our vision of pushing Kenya to the front of the pack when it comes to transformative technology and innovation in Africa.”
With technology playing an increasingly critical role in every aspect of business during this global crisis, MIE Group has developed a remarkable virtual exhibition platform - Global Trade Week (GTW VE) - which allows adversely affected businesses across the region to easily access the global market and reach out to a vast network of buyers and suppliers.
“ICT is the catalyst for the current global digital revolution,” observed Mr. Ahmed Zahoor, VP of Strategy & Partnerships. “With the pace at which business is changing, the companies that succeed will be those that build partnerships that will accelerate growth, value addition and of course, innovation.”
As part of its mandate, Africa Technology & Security Week is committed towards creating a partner ecosystem that will deliver next-generation technologies such as Cybersecurity, Artificial Intelligence, Blockchain, 5G, and Internet of Things, to disrupt and enable digital transformation for businesses globally.
