eSTRATEGES LIVE, PRAGUE

I think that there is lack of such events offering opportunity for forward looking discussion on high level like the eStrategies event. It would be appreciated to continue them in the future preferably on annual basis.

Europe is in competition with other business locations of the world. The Prague event pointed out maybe different positions in detail - but one goal in general: How to bring the best public service to businesses and citizens and so to strengthen the business location Europe.

I think that this event should be conceived as a pilgrimage, a yearly, annual
event where we all come and gather, take stock of where we were last year, where
we are now, what are the new innovations and changes in the marketplace, and how
we can position ourselves in this particular regard. I think the keyword is
flexibility and continuous learning and improvement as the sector changes.

Paris Mashile, Regulator, ICASA

I think you must have seen the excitement in the room. You know, I was remarking
that I am very glad to have met the type of participants you managed to bring
here. They cut across the whole of Africa. You have Ministers like myself, going
down from South Africa to West Africa. And there are regulators and operators .
. . most excellent.

Hon. Mr Benjamin Ntim, Minister of Communications, Ghana


I have met people with varied experiences here – international organisations and
government officials with varied experiences. I believe there are those areas
that we have already seen as beneficial to us, especially in the areas of the
management of the gateway. We really don’t have enough information about it and
especially on how we are able to use it. I think we have that now.

I must thank British Publishers from the beginning for initiating these
roundtable discussions. We need more of this, you came at a very important time.

Hon Stefanus Mogotsi-Dept Minister - Ministry of Home Affairs & Immigration, Republic of Namibia

It was very useful. It is a good opportunity to share experience on all the
projects that we have implemented and to explain the difficulties we encountered
and to share this experience with any country which is ready to implement a new
electronic document. So it was a very important meeting for us…so it’s a very
good experience.

The eStrategies for eGovernment in the Middle East roundtable presented for the
very first time in the region an opportunity for concerned experts in the public
and private sectors to share experiences and knowledge along enabling
eGovernment themes. It facilitated a structured peer-to-peer exchange of views
and opinions on eGovernment strategizing and planning that will undoubtedly be
of value not only to the programs of the roundtable participants and their
organizations but also to all other regional programs and actors. In knowledge
management terms, I view this roundtable as a main step towards forming a
regional eGovernment Strategies community-of-practice.

Raymond Khoury, Director, Booz Allen Hamilton

It was a pleasure meeting with you in Bahrain. I found the roundtable discussion
interesting and informative. The mix of people from private and public sectors
made it even more so. I look forward to reading your publication on this
roundtable discussion in the near future.

eSTRATEGIES LIVE, THE HAGUE

The roundtable is a fantastic networking opportunity. Everything was both
well-organised and conducive to making new contacts and meeting others in the
field - the discussion was lively and fruitful.
The roundtable provided us with a comprehensive insight into the market as well
as a broad spectrum of new international trends. We especially liked the wide
range of discussion delegates - and the many interesting talks that ensued. The
interlocutors were keen to talk to us about real opportunities and we expect
this to turn into business for us. We had a great time in The Hague and
thoroughly enjoyed the roundtable. We look forward to hearing from you in the
near future."

Armin Hopp, CEO digital publishing AG, Munich, Germany

I would like to thanks you for the invitation in which I think it was an
outstanding session.

It was a pleasure to meet you and attend the roundtable meeting here in
Dubai. As I have stated this in front of the camera, the organisation was
excellent, and the CONTROL of discussion in the meeting from you was amazing
as well! I was honoured to be a panel member, and I would like to thank
you once again for giving me and Emirates ID this opportunity. I wish you
all the success and happiness.

Ali M. Al-Khouri, Assistant Director General, Emirates Identity Authority

"It’s a good sounding board to find out what’s going on. And again, you’re
getting a mixture between end users, the decision makers, the vendors, the
suppliers in the industry. And I think, to brig them all together in a
collective audience as we have done today, that is an excellent way of actually
having that sort of debate and discussion to see what’s happening. It’s a good
