Working with the Sri Lankan Government on the education initiatives, Intel played a significant role in the recent Mini Infotel held in Kegalle. Considered to be the largest regional ICT exhibition to be held in 2011, the objective of this exhibition was to showcase breakthrough ICT trends that will enable the nation to be a knowledge hub and on par with the rest of the world.
“Over the years, we have always played a significant part in the Mini Infotel as we believe that our contribution will take this nation one step forward to fulfilling a national promise,” said Indika de Zoysa, Country Business Manager at Intel Sri Lanka. “Since this is such a significant event for the dissemination of ICT information, we are proud to be a part of it.”
The Mini Infotel in Kegalle was represented by a large number of local and multinational organisations showcasing ICT related solutions. Several categories including computer technology, IT solutions, telecommunication and broadband services, gaming, media and entertainment, software, electronics retail, banking and insurance, manufacturing and SME as well as ICT training and education was available for the hundreds of participants.
Through Intel initiatives such as the “World Ahead Programme”, the company aims to contribute to quality education, enlarge access and connectivity by communities, and develop content for knowledge building as it gears individuals for the challenges and opportunities of the 21st century. “We believe that the use of ICT resources together with education reform to policies and programmes advance the economic and social development of communities,” said de Zoysa.
Intel, the world leader in silicon innovation, develops technologies, products and initiatives to continually advance the way how people work and live.
