The 2nd day of Middle East Com 2013 opened with a panel discussion on Government Initiatives Encouraging ICT across the Middle East. Dr Nagwa Elshenawi, Director of Information Center and Advisor to minister for Strategic Planning, Ministry of Communication and Information Technology, Egypt followed the discussion with a presentation detailing the correlation between broadband penetration and economic growth and outlined Egypt’s strategy for encouraging ICT.
 
The opening session was followed by detailed discussion on the opportunities for telcos to increase their share of enterprise telecom and ICT budgets; and an insight into the role of the regulator in fostering innovation throughout the region.
The afternoon sessions focussed on Digital Services, led by stream sponsor Altran, with discussions on Arabic content, mHealth, mobile money and M2M; and a continuation of the MVNOs Middle East event.  Presentations from Samatel, the Ministry of ICT in Tunisia, Jawraa and Omantel were among those raising the interest levels in MVNOs in the region and intensifying the focus on the opportunities available.
