GCG will be represented at the 2005 Commonwealth Technology Forum in London on July 11-12, 2005. The conference will examine the creation of innovative knowledge economies in Europe and Africa and the development of the international trade in services for both the private and public sector. The conference will focus on use of IT, ICT and the IT-enabled services (or BPO) sectors, in making business competitive in developed regions and providing development opportunities in other areas of the world. The development of knowledge process outsourcing and the creation of developed knowledge economies are key themes for analysis and debate.
