The focus of the conference is the strategic and efficient use of modern ICT devices and applications as well as the related knowledge, skills, competences, teaching, learning, and inventiveness of the workforce and citizens. The conferences promotes research that provide insights for improving effective appropriation of modern ICT devices and applications into service delivery, more effective use of service delivery by citizens, business efficiency, entrepreneurship, education and more cohesive and equitable living in society.
