Region should take the benefit of information and communication technologies (ICT) and IT innovation as an enabling tool to deliver economic growth and acceleration in productivity. The event helps us to maximize the economic gains from ICT and seek to identify the critical success factors that policymakers and managers must address to improve the rewards of ICT since economic growth in developed countries is strongly linked to ICT development.
Moreover, Information and Cyber security issues have become a subject of great attention of the conference. In today's high technology environment, public and private organizations are becoming more and more dependent on their information systems. The threats to information systems from criminals and terrorists are increasing. As the experience shows, a lot of cyber security related incidents have been accrued in the world within last years and their number is growing. Georgia has made the first steps towards analyzing the state of affairs in cyber security field and developing policies on how to strengthen it.
