Introduction

    Egyptian  Government has identified the fast-growing export sector of “offshore services” as a major opportunity for Egypt’s future economic growth. The Ministry of Communications and Information Technology has initiated a strategy for developing an export-oriented IT-enabled services industry and positioning Egypt in the international market as a competitive location for offshore services building on the capabilities of large and well-educated workforce, strong business infrastructure, and proximity to key markets in Europe.
 

    Under this strategy, the Information Technology Industry Development Agency (ITIDA) and the Information Technology Institute (ITI) are jointly organizing the First International Executive Workshop Series on Globalization.
 

    The Workshop Series aim to develop the international industry knowledge, business and communication skills of Egyptian Executives especially in competitively bringing in, establishing, and operating IT and IT-enabled services for offshore markets. The Workshop Series comprise a set of interactive executive gatherings tackling: the development of a competitive strategy; offshore market selection and penetration; offshoring project and contract management; cross-culture communications; international standards and successful practices in Healthcare, Financial, Human Resources and ERP outsourcing services.
 

    The program hosts international coaches from both leading offshoring outsourcing businesses and professional experts from the USA, UK, India, Belgium, Austria and Mauritius.
