Mid-May 2017, we will join other members of the International Telecommunications Union (ITU) to celebrate World Telecommunication & Information Society Day (WTISD) 2017 theme "Big Data for Big Impact".
ICT Days will be the opportunity to reinforce relationships among all players of the ICT ecosystem, including public administrations, private sector companies, entrepreneurs, non-for profits, as well as all the people living in the Pacific.
Together, we will build a bright digital future for all whilst enhancing collaboration and celebrating the whole ICT sector.
ICT entrepreneurs have a relevant role in ensuring economic growth in a sustainable and inclusive manner, especially in developing countries.
ICT entrepreneurs are involved in the development of innovative ICT-enabled solutions with a unique potential to make a long-lasting impact in global, regional and national economies
ICT entrepreneurs are drivers of innovative and practical solutions for catalysing progress in achieving international sustainable development goals.
"Through our National ICT Policy, we have directed all our ministries to allocate a reasonable portion of their budgets to ICTs, as enablers of success.Our goal is to be a leader in ICTs in Melanesia and the Pacific, and we are well on our way to achieving this."
"The ICT Days is a unique celebration. It is the only event that brings all sectors and industries together to raise awareness of the possibilities that the use of the Internet and other information and communication technologies (ICT) can bring to societies and economies, as well as of ways to bridge the digital divide."
"The regulatory role has change dramatically and we have that validated here as we're heading in the right
direction. We educate our children, we go to the children, we go to the schools, we get through to the community
that lives the ICT value. ICT is the enabler for them to grow. ICT benefits moving onto health as well."
