Smart Technologies is sponsoring the New Libya Forum Conference being held tomorrow and Tuesday at The Hilton.

Commenting on the initiative, Smart Technologies CEO Joseph Aquilina said, “Smart Technologies acknowledges the social and political impact that last year’s events have had on Libya and that this impact is bound to create a huge wave of opportunities that could be leveraged by the business sector in general. As such, we are actively looking into this potential and exploring a number of possible opportunities for our business.”

As a sponsor of this conference, Smart Technologies will provide the equipment to be used throughout the conference and will set up a desk with a number of PCs where international participants will be able to browse the internet or view e-mails during the session breaks. Smart Technologies will also be supplying a number of netbooks so that throughout the conference comments can be put directly on the conference website in order to be discussed during the Q&A sessions.

There will also be a stand set up during the conference from where visiting participants will be able to learn more about Smart Technologies’ services, namely leasing, renting and IT outsourcing and back-up services.

“Libya’s growing sector is a perfect example that shows how Smart Technologies can be the ideal partner for businesses that are setting up a presence in this region. In fact, our tailor-made leasing and renting services may be very suitable for those companies who want to set up a first ‘testing’ presence in this market and who would surely need to have the IT infrastructure in place but without the need of having to incur capital expenditure that such investments would normal require,” added Mr Aquilina.

“We are also very happy to be in a position to actively support this conference in an innovative way by being active participants and contributing our service towards the success that this conference plans to achieve,” he concluded.
