PCA: The Power of Unity
The year 1996 witnessed the formation of the Information
and Communications Technology Industry cluster in Lebanon under
the name of "PCA". Three major common objectives were behind
the success of the initiative to bring ICT companies, operating
in Lebanon, closer together under the framework of the PCA:
1. Enhance cooperation and collaboration among Lebanese based
ICT companies for the purpose or improving industry standards
and competitiveness.
2. Expand ICT penetration and adoption in Lebanon.
3. Establish Lebanon as a leading provider of ICT products and
services in the region.
The PCA provides to ICT industry players in Lebanon a forum
for brainstorming, communication and interaction through which
several initiatives have been successfully launched. Moreover,
the PCA is well established as the interlocutor between the
ICT sector and the Lebanese government, working together on
improving the legal and communications infrastructures in Lebanon.
The big challenges facing the ICT sector in our country should
be turned into the opportunity for the Lebanese to reconfirm
their position as successful, innovative and hard working business
people. Growing and strengthening the ICT sector should also
present an occasion to help recover our national economy and
improve the quality of life for our people and future generations.
The democratic structure of the PCA, our members' unity and
maturity as well as the experience the PCA built over the past
few years in handling and dealing with public affairs are the
main drivers for confidence in the PCA's ability to deal with
its challenges. The PCA has one direction to take: Forward.
