As the longest running e-Governance conference in the region, FutureGov SAARC Summit 2012 takes a comprehensive look at the issues at the heart of information management for the Sri Lankan public sector.
“Intel has time and again helped us in our e-governance initiatives with their expertise and valuable global experiences. The FutureGov SAARC Summit 2012, with Intel as the Knowledge Partner, will take us closer to the ‘Mahinda Chintanaya’- vision of turning Sri Lanka into a knowledge Hub,” stated ICTA CEO Reshan Dewapura.
Bringing together experts from around the world, FutureGov SAARC Summit 2012 will provide a unique opportunity for public sector buyers and private sector solution providers to learn from one another.

As the Knowledge Partner for FutureGov SAARC Summit 2012, we look forward to sharing our experiences from working as a trusted ICT advisor for Governments around the world,” said Intel Country Business Manager for Sri Lanka Indika de Zoysa.
