Indo-Korean Business and Policy Forum ICT conference

SEOUL, KOREA: The Indo-Korean Business and Policy Forum is organizing an India-South Korea ICT Conference and Business Development Meeting on June 6-7, 2009 (Saturday and Sunday).

Time: 09:00 to 18:00
Venue: Shulbert Hall, President Hotel, 188-3 I-ka Ulchi-ro Chung-ku, Seoul

As many as 100 top South Korean and Indian firms are expected to participate. A buyer-seller meeting will be held in association with Anhse law offices, with a view to develop partnerships, joint ventures and businesses between Indian and Korean companies. This will be a perfect opportunity to explore third country markets for Indo-Korean joint ventures.

The Indian IT sector reached more than $52 billion last year. Korea’s business relations with India have surpassed 30% growth per year. The two countries complement each other. While India has one of the largest skill bases in software technologies, South Korea has some of the most competitive electronics, hardware and telecom industries. With the signing of CEPA, business relations are expected to grow quickly, especially in the IT sector.

This meeting will cover all major areas of ICT products and services such as wireless communication equipment and handsets, desktop management, optical cable, security systems, broadband internet, BPO, IT Financial services, IT Health services, webcasting and telecommunications technology.

My blog's been nominated by Electronics Weekly!

It was indeed a pleasant surprise to receive an email from Electronics Weekly, yesterday evening, informing me that my blog was recently shortlisted/nominated in the 2008 ElectronicsWeekly.com Blog Awards by a reader of ElectronicsWeekly.com!

All of the nominated blogs have apparently been considered by the panel of judges at ElectronicsWeekly.com. The email said, "I am delighted to inform you that you have made the shortlist in the Best Electronics Hardware Blog category."

The entire list can be seen here!

Wow! I must add that here that there are such great blogs and bloggers in that list that I went dizzy for a few minutes!

I never expected my blog to reach this kind of appeal or level! Nor do I think I have that kind of traffic, as this blog has more to do with serious stuff, rather than talk about gadgets, etc. In fact, somebody once told me last year that no one would bother about a blog on semicon and electronics, nor would I get any traffic!

Well, all of this has never bothered me. I'm here to blog about what I feel is close to my heart! If folks happen to stop by, I am extremely grateful to all of them!

Irrespective of whether I win this award, it is just the right time to thank all of the readers of this blog! Thanks to all of you for choosing to stop by my blog occasionally! I sincerely hope you find the content interesting and appealing enough.

There's lots happening in the semiconductor, electronics and telecom industries, and hope that I am able to add my views on all of those in the coming months.

Thanks again, my dear readers. Please keep those suggestions coming. I will try to live up to your expectations. Have a great Halloween, everyone!
