The recent visit by an ICT team from India comprising senior executives from three ICT companies is an indication of the growing confidence that investors have in Fiji’s ICT sector.

And according to the Fiji Islands Trade and Investment Bureau Manager Industrial Zones, Zarak Khan, the team have highlighted how technology can be used as a tool for achieving growth in today’s competitive business environment.

The ICT investors he said, have also imparted invaluable knowledge and created awareness on new areas of ICT that can assist local institutions and organizations in streamlining their operations to enhance their effectiveness.

“The new technology shared by the ICT investors will allow these possible process improvements to translate into more efficient organizations.

“This will eventually lead to lower operating costs and hence allow organizations in Fiji to possibly employ more locals and also expand operations by increasing their investments,” Khan told FijiLive.

He added that in terms of creating new investments, the ICT investors have begun to formulate their potential action plans for Fiji in close consultation with the FTIB.

“It is hoped that this will eventuate into new ICT investment projects in due course.”
