i2, the region’s largest and most diverse mobile phone provider, participated in the Samena’s “Convergence to Casablanca 2007”, which took place at Le Royal Mansour Meridien Hotel in Casablanca, Morocco, on October 24-26, 2007.
Abdul Hameed Al Sunaid, CEO of i2 said, “i2’s participation was imperative since “CC2007” was not only educational and insightful, in addition the event was designed to bring together wire-less and wire-line operators, service providers, technology providers, ministries and regulators from the South Asian, Middle Eastern and North African regions”.
“The Samenas’ CC2007 was certainly the perfect platform for all the regions industry leaders to gather, enabling them to discuss new concepts, network and debate on the issues facing the industry”, added Al Sunaid.
Knowing that i2 has always worked hard to secure its position as one of the leading distributors of mobile devices with presence in over 22 markets, it will be also participating as one of the exhibitors in the leading Pan-African event for mobile broadband & satellite communications GSM>3G, which will take place in Cape Town, South Africa, on November 21-22.
Commenting on the importance of joining this event Al Sunaid stated,” It is the perfect hub to learn and carry out business with key decision makers and innovators from this continent, which is invaluable for us, bearing in mind i2 is the leading distributor for Nokia in Africa”
Attending GSM > 3G AfricaCom is a strategic move for i2, in view of the fact that 3,000 senior decision-makers will attend the event; more than 70 leading industry experts will be speaking, and 180 exhibitors will be showcasing the latest products and solutions. In addition there will be a Free Exhibition Seminar adding to the educational value of the event.”
i2’s participation in these events is very important for both business growth and Mobile Virtual Network Operator (MNVO).
Africa is of very high relevance to i2, given that it is a great untapped market. Therefore the company’s’ announcement of their direction to go with MVNO in different markets in Africa and the Middle East emphasizes i2 interest in new markets.
”In such an evolving climate, i2 has to continuously examine its’ growth strategies to maximize and sustain its’ position in a changing environment. With this purpose in mind, ourselves, as well as the major communications players of the continent and wider a field, will be there to meet existing clients, build new contacts and to learn from their peers.” concluded Al Sunaid
