"I think the telecommunications sector plays one of the most important roles for the development of the digital economy, the opening of the digital potential of the country and the establishment of a leading position in the region. At the same time, the National Communications Commission, as a supervisory organization in the field, sets its primary goal to open the telecom services market, create a framework for sharing infrastructure, as well as realizing the geopolitical advantages of our country. It is necessary to work closely with regulatory or other respective leading organizations in order to increase the knowledge and potential of the sector," - Ekaterine Imedadze, a member of the National Communications Commission said. 

The forum will cover 4 different topics over 5 days - Government Technologies and Digital Transformation, Financial Technologies, Education and Communications. The forum will feature the representatives from the government agencies, academic circles, the IT business and consulting industry, who will touch upon the trends, challenges and opportunities existing in the digital transformation process.
