Notes de l'éditeur
Aggressive planning and initiatives to break the billion in 2010 – just to give u an idea, we are trying to break the billion in 2010 while india is trying to break the 60Billion in 2010 – but they started 10 years ago with an export budget of X BillionNeed some numbers on progress over the years to show the potential and that things are happening - ITIDA
Maybe some numbers on numbers of graduates of Egypt universities overall and from Computer science universities in specific – to show that there is a job for everyone.
I have borrowed a slide from a dear colleague, Ahmed hussam, he always uses it in our conflict meetings….I was just trying to involve you in the responsibility of building the future of IT in Egypt. Best of Luck to all
