InfoCom World 2024, which is titled “Digital Greece: Time for a Leap!” this year, will take place on November 12, 2024 at the Divani Caravel Hotel, under the guarantee and credibility of Smart Press. The annual meeting of the market for Technology, Information Technology and Telecommunications, will focus on the dynamic development of the country through the adoption and exploitation of new technologies, the challenges and opportunities that arise, and the steps that must be taken by market stakeholders, to implement the “digital leap”!

The themed sections of the conference will cover key issues such as: private networks, artificial intelligence, data centers, e-government, smart cities and digital projects, with an emphasis on the practical application and benefits of new technologies.

With a series of important speakers, from Greece and abroad, this year’s Infocom World includes panels, fireside chats, workshops, keynote speeches and several surprises, offering a comprehensive experience for all participants. During the panels, the possibilities of new emerging technologies will be explored, and their impact on modern digital Greece will be discussed, through the projects of the Recovery Fund, as well as the private initiative.

Particular emphasis will be placed on private networks, a development that is just around the corner, and is the basis for the secure and efficient operation of modern businesses and organizations. We will also focus on Artificial Intelligence, since it is an area that is drastically transforming the business world and our daily lives. Data Centers, which are the heart of digital Greece, will be another important topic of discussion, with an emphasis on technological developments, security and environmental challenges.

The telecommunications industry is at a critical juncture, where investment in infrastructure and technological development is becoming a matter of vital importance. The evolution of telecommunication networks requires continuous investments to meet the increased needs of modern society. As the demand for faster and more reliable data transmission increases -and while 5G SA is already taking its first steps in our country- the need to upgrade the telecommunications infrastructure -both mobile and fiber- is now imperative.

At the same time, investments in innovative applications and services, which will utilize the potential of new technologies, are equally important. From edge computing and artificial intelligence, to augmented and virtual reality, the development of such applications requires funding, but also cooperation between providers, enterprises, startups, as well as patronage by the state.

Training and development of ICT talent is another critical issue for the success of this digital transformation. InfoCom World 2024 will highlight strategies to enhance human resource skills, by promoting education in areas such as cyber security, data analytics, and the development of innovative solutions.

Last but not least, cyber security remains a key axis in any ICT-related discussion, and one of the key subjects of the conference. As the use of telecommunications networks and electronic services increases, so does the possibility of cyber-attacks and other digital threats. To deal with them effectively, significant investments in research, advanced threat detection systems and training programs are required, which will equip professionals with the skills to defend effectively.
