10 delegates off to India to showcase Cebu ICT 2005, learn ‘how they did it’
SOME 10 delegates of the Cebu Educational Development Foundation for Information Technology (Cedf-it) flew to India over the weekend to promote the Conference and Exhibition on Business and ICT (Cebu ICT 2005) as well as learn from the experiences of India in its journey toward being an IT hub in the world.
“This trip has a two-pronged objective. One is to showcase the upcoming Cebu ICT 2005 show in June in India, the other is to learn on how India did it (attract multinational companies (MNCs) to outsource their information technology needs to India),” Cebu Business Month (CBM) 2005 chairman Francis Monera told Sun.Star.
The Cebu ICT 2005 is one of the big events of this year’s CBM.
He said the system of IT (information technology) schools in India is one of the major factors of India’s success in attracting MNCs.
Monera, who is also a member of Cedf-it board, is one of the delegates of the “benchmarking study tour.” The others are Cedf-it executive director Bonifacio Belen, University of Cebu-Computer Engineering Department dean Virginia Dela Cerna, University of San Jose-Recoletos-Institute of Information Computer and Communications Technology director Gregg Victor Gabison, NEC Software Telecom Philippines, Inc.-research and development (R&D) manager Frederick Kintanar, Primary Structures Inc. president and chief executive officer William Liu, Esprint Software Inc. vice president Walter Ng, Lexmark R&D Corp. manager Josephine Pinote, University of San Carlos research director Victorina Zosa and Tech Alliance president Anthony Zosa.
The group will visit Bangalore and Hyderabad, India then Singapore. (JBN)
