eGov Asia 2009 : eAsia 2009

The progress of e-Government in Asian countries has been uneven across the region. Except for a few countries, most countries are in a very early stage of adopting e-Government. Developing countries in the region have a weak infrastructure to support the development of e-Governance. There is a need to have an enabling legal and policy environment along with human capacity in place to design and implement e-Government applications. In this scenario, it becomes imperative for the countries that are slow to adopt e-Government, to learn from the e-Government strategies and models adopted by countries, such as Singapore and Korea that are way ahead among Asian countries, in the e-Governance ladder.

eGov Asia 2009 will provide a platform for all stakeholders- policy makers, practitioners, industry leaders, academicians and architects of e-Government projects- across the Asian continent to share the achievements, challenges and lessons learned in implementing e-Governance. eGov Asia 2009 is fourth in the series of the annual eASiA event. Along with the conference, the exhibition will be a forum to showcase best practices, innovative technologies and ICT solutions.
