Submitted by Inveneo Newsfeed on 7 October 2009 - 12:31pm.

Inveneo is proud to have our own Chief Innovations Officer, Mark Summer, presenting at ITU Telecom World 2009 - the premier opportunity for global telecommunications organizations to focus on societal change and development opportunities using information communication technology (ICT).
Mark will be a panelist on the "Thinking green: Policy and practices for ICT innovation" session at 14:30 - 16:00 on Thursday, 08 October in Room E. There he will explore answers to the following challenge:
Is there a clear business case to go green or should governments step in to help businesses go green e.g carbon taxation, or the use of green ICT as a vendor selection criteria in procurement practices? - Are there innovative business or government policy and practices that have been shown to lead the way for green innovation in ICTs?
He will be showcasing Inveneo's innovating two-pronged business approach to delivering green technology. First we identify, test, integrate, and certify appropriate, low-power ICT infrastructure solutions designed for education, health and economic development organizations in rural and underserved communities. Then we train, certify, and support on a daily basis, local ICT companies who can design, install, and maintain these systems at an affordable price.
