ICT innovation
We believe linking local market knowledge to advanced technology and business models, offers new and unlimited opportunities for innovation and to answer market needs.
Working with international partners is a great opportunity to contribute to innovation within the local ICT sector. By applying innovations in developing countries we contribute to exchange knowledge and skills, break the circle of procuring external and expensive services and build local ICT capacity and stimulate the regional and local market and economy. Partnerships can have both non-economic and economic objectives.
The Interliaise ICT innovation program is based on the concept of ‘partnership innovation: International companies working together with local companies to develop new IT-products, services, business models and markets, combining proven technology with local market knowledge and capability to the benefit of multiple stakeholders in various countries
