The Executive Director of the Ministry of Information and Communication Technology, Linda Aipinge-Nakale, says the 9th National ICT Summit must move beyond theoretical discussions to deliver practical solutions that create jobs and eradicate poverty.

Learners who participated in the Otjozondjupa ICT in Education Summit and Exhibition in Otjiwarongo showcased a diverse set of skills, with some creating solution-based applications in the fields of agriculture and education.

The Ministry of Information and Communication Technology (MICT) raised more than N$500,000 for the annual ICT summit scheduled to take place from September 9 to 11.

Information and communication technologies have become a necessity in almost all aspects of human existence.

It is against this background that key stakeholders in the industry are attending the three-day 7th ICT Summit, which kicked off in Windhoek this morning.
