The Moldova ICT Summit 2010, which will take place in Chisinau during March 30-31, will be an occasion for Moldova to strengthen its position as IT producer and present an attractive offer for the regional and international IT services markets. Moldova's IT industry can grow 3-4 times during one year only, said the organizers of the event, quoted by Info-Prim Neo. “One of the most important topics at the forum will be the formulation of a joint offer for the regional and international IT services market,” said Deputy Minister of Information and Communication Technology Dona Scola. Veaceslav Cunev, the head of the Association of Private ICT Companies, said that Moldova's IT industry and the exports of IT products grow at least twice yearly. It is one of the areas that avoided the crisis. Sergiu Botezatu, representative of USAID Moldova, said ten IT personalities will be invited to Chisinau to help Moldova promote its image of IT producer at foreign level. The summit will center on the following subjects: ICT4Business – a business communication platform for the Moldovan and foreign ICT companies interested in the domestic market; and Development4ICT – a platform for directors general of Moldovan ICT companies and other players in the ICT market, including the authorities, clients and foreign partners. ICT specialists from Moldova and abroad will take part in the summit, including Robert Farish, IDC Vice Prescient and Regional Managing Director for Russia and CIS Countries, Tomislav Bronzin, USAID RCI Innovation Center senior adviser, and Erik Mandre, managing director of the Estonian Organization for Copyright Protection, the organizers say in a communique. The summit will be held under the auspices of the Ministry of Information and Communication Technology. Its partners are National ICT Association, USAID CEED Project, and Microsoft Moldova.
