The
Business Forum of WFIS 2005 |
|
 |
| |
As a part of the IRFD World Forum on
Information Society - Tunis 2005, the Business Forum
will bring together individuals and groups from the
entire spectrum of the business community (corporate
professionals, researchers, business educators, policy
analysts, NGOs). In recent years, business partnership
has become a vital component of the global development
discourse within the UN policy framework. The upcoming
United Nations World Summit on the Information Society,
which will be held in Tunis, is not an exception, and
the business community is expected to play a continuous
key role in this process. To this effect the International
Research Foundation for Development is organizing a
special forum focusing on business partnership as an
integral part of global development in the age of the
information society.

This special forum would like to bring
diverse views, innovative ideas, product information,
best practices and insights of business leaders with
regard to information technology and the advancement
of global business, which will eventually benefit the
whole world through market integration, expansion,
business network alliances, and so forth. This forum
would like to address the whole spectrum of issues,
considerations, and practices that the business community
is facing in developing a partnership with governments,
local communities, NGOs, science and technology communities,
policy makers and other multi-stakeholders in the process
of global development.
