IBEC launches strategy paper for ICT sector

A strategy vision for the ICT [Information and Communications Technology] sector in Ireland 2002-2005 has been launched by IBEC.

The Chairman of ICT Ireland, Kevin Dillon [MD, European Operations Centre and Vice President, EMEA, Microsoft Corporation] said that while the sector globally had a bright future, we must be realistic and accept that as a relatively high cost location Ireland was already losing lower technologies to lower cost locations overseas, and this trend is set to continue.
