Dear Business Partners,

A few months into the New Year, we now have time to look back on what was a remarkably exciting and successful 2009 for Dubai Internet City and its business partners.

I’m proud to say that we were able to come out the challenging year stronger with new companies joining our cluster in addition to witnessing major successes, expansions and developments among our existing companies in spite of the global challenges – which reinforces the reality that the ICT industry has been able to withstand the global situation better than most other industries.

During the first quarter of 2010, we held many exciting initiatives for the benefit of the DIC community, including the recently concluded DemoCamp which was met with wide praise and the launch of the ‘Excellence Series’ monthly speaker sessions.

Hope you enjoy reading through the Q1 2010 Newsletter which covers the DIC industry Activities & Events, PR as well as our Corporate Social Responsibilities.

Best regards,
Malek Al Malek
Managing Director, Dubai Internet City
