Injazat discussed role of IT & knowledge-based industries in development of world-class Abu Dhabi infrastructure in the Abu Dhabi Economic Forum 2010

The extent and sustainability of current indicators of global economic recovery and changing business realities and strategies were extensively discussed during the 4th Abu Dhabi Economic Forum (ADEF) in Abu Dhabi.

Although the beginning of 2010 shows signs of a gradual turnaround, economic experts are still determining if these reflect a fundamental and long-term trend. The Forum gathered business leaders, policy makers and government representatives that assessed current economic conditions, identified new factors for planning and investment, and discussed business opportunities in the Middle East and throughout the world.

Injazat has been invited to join discussions on the role of IT and knowledge-based industries in Abu Dhabi’s pursuit of a world-class infrastructure. The company showcased its advanced ICT solutions portfolio bannered by the Middle East’s first Tier IV design-certified data centre. Mohanned Hourani, the Training Manager of the Injazat Institute (TI2), Injazat’s professional development initiative was one of the forum’s key speakers

“It is important that we take a cautious yet forward-looking stance towards positive developments that have been observed in the global economy. Especially here in our region which has successfully overcome many of the downturn’s challenges, as we do not want to compromise achievements we’ve made through key policies and diversification. We welcome the forum as an opportunity for us to affirm the significant contributions of information and communications technology (ICT) in reinforcing the economy and ensuring true and sustainability recovery,” said Ibrahim Lari, CEO, Injazat Data Systems.

The forum , organized by the Abu Dhabi Department of Planning and Economy and Al-Iktissad Wal-Aamal Group, discussed world economic recovery; the Group of 20 and shifts in the balance of economic power; new corporate strategies; the new role of banks after the crisis; global investments; and Abu Dhabi’s rising prominence as an energy player and developer.
