Why not to miss the presentation?
The presentation offers a surprising look at ICT investments in Slovakia. Compared to worldwide perspective, Slovakia invests less into ICT. It is sad truth that global competitivness of Slovakia is decreasing. ICT investments are one of important factors for growth of competitivness. It may sound surprising but the external look implicates that Slovak ICT investments are not sufficient to the needs. The presentation will be delivered by Mark Yates, top class IDC analyst, with more than 10 years of experience of research focused on Central and Eastern Europe.

Executive Summary:
Governments compete with each other. They compete for business investments, for talented immigrants, and for the dedication of their own citizenry. While not the only factor impacting national competitiveness, the level of government IT development is nonetheless important. In Slovakia (and CEE), the level is far too low. This presentation examines the situation, argues that budgets need to increase, and outlines what it means for planning until they do.
