Global VC Seminar on Mobile Government by eDTG of The World Bank

The seminar will be held during e-GovWorld 2007 scheduled for November 29-30,2007

It has been increasingly recognized by both government agencies and practitioners that Mobile Government is the next inevitable paradigm for the e-government practices. Spread and success of mobile/wireless applications and services all around the world provides an opportunity for governments to exploit these new developments and enhance e-government implementations by moving to the m-government dimension.

With Asia fast becoming the fastest growing mobile subscribers market in the world, this provides an unprecedented opportunity to the telecom players and government agencies to gain the leading position globally as well as regionally in mobile government initiatives. While this will establish Asia as a leader in the region, it will provide a tremendous opportunity to the service providers to create applications and service models that can be replicated commercially in various parts of the globe.

The parallel track during e-GovWorld 2007 is an initiative to discuss the role mobile government services (m-Government), can play in enhancing the reach of the public services and  learning about the global trends in the domain. The global experts invited for the conference will provide an outline of the wide range of mobile public services being developed and deployed around the world and also in parts of India.

The global Video con ference seminar organized by e-development Thematic group of the World Bank will be webcast live on internet with government representatives from Singapore, Canada and Dubai connecting through VC to share their experiences. The temtative agenda for the seminar  is as below:
