Dubai: Dubai Internet City (DIC), a member of Tecom Investments, on Saturday announced its schedule of discussions on the role of venture capital in the ICT sector at Gitex Technology Week 2008.
The daily presentations will take place at the DIC stand in concourse 2, between Exhibition Hall 8 and the Shaikh Maktoum Hall at the Dubai International Convention and Exhibition Centre from Saturday to Thursday.
Offering attendees valuable insights into the use and benefits of raising private equity, the awareness sessions will highlight what venture capitals look for in small and medium sized companies (SME) and analyse value-added benefits beyond the financial and emerging technologies.
Key venture capital companies in the UAE, including Aban (Arab Business Angels Network), Intel Capital, New Enterprise East Investments, and BVIG (Business Value Investment Group) Capital, will lead the sessions.
Malek Sultan Al Malek, the executive director of DIC, said: "As part of our endeavour to contribute to the transformation of the regional ICT industry, Dubai Internet City aims to foster a business environment for small and medium enterprises to thrive. Venture capital is a key tool in achieving this growth."
DIC's exhibition partners at Gitex will host a series of key discussion panels. Intel, the world's largest chip maker, will focus on "Emerging Trends in Mobility", while Google in its debut participation at Gitex will elaborate on "Maximising your ROI with AdWords".
eHosting DataFort, the region's leading IT consulting and outsourcing provider, will throw light on "Disaster Recovery".
An introduction to SmartCity's upcoming Malta and Kochi projects based on the success of the DIC model will also be provided.
