About the Forum
The Northern Ireland ICT Innovation Forum, now in its third year, is a network of organisations that are involved in using ICT to deliver services. Many of these organisations are involved in the delivery of public services.
The forum’s objectives are to:
- bring together the IT sector with the key decision-makers in goverment, across all sectors;
- Facilitate an informed discussion between the key stakeholders within the ICT sector in Northern Ireland;
- Demonstrate best practice in the application of ICT in delivering modern public services;
- Promote a network of ICT companies within Northern Ireland.
The forum's primary aim is to act as a network facilitator and, by developing
a high level and forward-thinking seminar programme, bring a focus to the
best practice within the sector. The forum will bring expert speakers into
Northern Ireland by tapping into the international networks within many of
the global ICT companies with a presence here.
Who is it for?
- ICT and other technology companies active in the Northern Ireland market
- Government ICT professionals
- Other public sector leaders with a role in service delivery needing to learn more about the role and benefits of ICT
- Consultant and advisory organisations
Participative approach
The seminars will seek to be interactive and delegates will benefit from a high level of engagement between both the speakers and fellow delegates. Where appropriate, there will be break out groups with specific tasks with the objective of producing outputs utilising the collective knowledge and experience of all seminar participants, both speakers and delegates. The outputs will be recorded and posted on the forum website.
Online Resources
The forum will make available all seminar materials online and the forum website will also include additional resources on the seminar subject matter. The site will host relevant material and articles published in the agendaNi government ICT quarterly report. It will also contain webinar interviews with key players in the ICT sector in Northern Ireland and additional interviews with international experts in the field. The aim is to develop a website that is a useful resource for forum members.
