MANILA, Philippines - The ICT business has been developing rapidly in the Asian region, displaying enormous market interest from the region’s highly vibrant and dynamic economies.

Korea has always been at the forefront of ensuring a continuous advancement in ICT through collaborative efforts not only in its home front but also within its regional network.  

KOTRA or the Korea Trade Investment and Promotion Agency, in collaboration with local government entities led by DOST-ICTO as well as the private business sector and ICT associations, is holding in Manila a two-day “e-Smart World Asia 2012” ICT forum.

The forum, which will be held on Jan. 18-19 at Hotel InterContinental in Makati City, aims to gather ICT project developers, holders, bidders as well as IT professionals and practitioners under one roof to discuss current technologies and advancement in the Korean ICT sector as well as those from other parts of the region. 

Some 100 local ICT companies and officials from the government will interact with over 30 Asian and 12 Korean ICT delegates. 

Kotra director Johwan Choi underscored the importance of the event with the participation of major decision-makers who ultimately will fast-track current and projected ICT programs that the region is in need of.
