IDG Connect Launches Website Covering Ways Technology is Changing the World

LONDON - Tuesday, June 4th 2013 [ME NewsWire]

(BUSINESS WIRE)-- IDG Connect, the data publishing arm of the world’s largest technology publisher IDG, has launched a new website designed to cover the way countries all over the globe are being changed by ICT.

Available at www.idgconnect.com, the IDG Connect site will feature contributions from expert writers on the ground in Asia, Europe, Africa, Australasia and the Americas. It will emphasise ways in which new technology trends are transforming societies and economies in both established and developing countries and regions. It will also feature reports based on unique research conducted by polling a database of business and IT decision makers across 130 countries.

“Technology and communications are changing everything from trade to education and health,” said Martin Veitch, IDG Connect Editorial Director. “Lots of people talk about covering the global technology scene but we’re really doing it: finding out what’s going on from people who can see with their own eyes what’s happening in both countries that are established technology strongholds, and in emerging markets.”

John P. O’Malley, IDG Connect CEO, said: “With the IDG Connect site we want to create a panoramic global/local view of the incredible changes that technology is supporting and enabling. Those changes are rapid and profound and will rewire the way we all live and work and create a new wave of opportunities everywhere.”

The IDG Connect site will host interviews with the most disruptive and innovative figures among technology suppliers and special reports on the hottest companies today, from start-ups to giants. It will also include a vast library of White Papers covering technology-related topics.

IDG Connect, a division of International Data Group (IDG), the world’s largest technology media company, produces, publishes and distributes local IT and business information on behalf of a truly global client base. Established in 2005, we have a fully nurtured audience of 2.6 million professional decision-makers from 130 countries, and an extended reach of 38 million names. This lets us conduct research, create independent analysis and opinion articles, and drive long-term engagement between professionals and B2B marketers worldwide.
