Dubai will host the 2nd Governmental Technology Summit from November 19-21. The summit is organized by the World Development Forum.
The meeting will include eleven Arab countries, including Morocco. Discussions will focus on reducing the digital divide and improving administrative management in Arab countries.
Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries, Egypt, Jordan, Lebanon, Syria, and Yemen will also participate.
The summit will bring together policymakers and representatives from pioneering telecommunications and information and communication technology (ICT) companies. They will address issues hindering the modernization of administration in Arab countries.
The meeting will also provide an opportunity for planners in the telecommunications, commerce, education, finance, health, infrastructure, and public works sectors to exchange ideas and experiences.
The ITU's Day index, which measures people's ability to access and use ICTs, has fallen in Arab countries. Experts say this isn't due to a lack of basic technical infrastructure, but rather a lack of awareness and promotion of ICTs.
