Event details

Presented by Jeff Galinovsky from the Emerging Market Platform Group, Intel Corporation

Information Technology and computer use in emerging markets including Asia, Latin America, Africa, the Middle East and Eastern Europe, have exploded in recent years. As a result Intel has created a new group whose focus is around developing and delivering unique platforms that address the needs of those in developing countries. As part of that group, Intel has opened four platform definition centers around the world to define locally relevant computing solutions based on Intel® technology. These definition centers will identify environmental considerations, local usage models, and marketplace requirements specific to each geographic region, such as inclement weather, intermittent power supply, or specialized content needs for consumers and small businesses. In addition, Intel works with other partners like governments and NGOs to help create a sustainable ecosystem around the platforms to ensure sustainability.
Jeff will review Intel's emerging market strategy, as well as the recently-announced "community computer" that was launched in India as part of the “Jaagruti” (“Awakening”) initiative, which seeks to provide rural communities in India with greater economic and social portunities.
