CIOL SMB Forum to rock Gujarat

BANGALORE: The state of Gujarat is blessed with beautiful people, rich

heritage and flourishing industries. Over the last 42 years, Gujarat has emerged

as a leading industrialized state in the country. With a wide industry

infrastructure from textiles and machinery goods to milk products, the state has

earned the recognition of being an ultimate destination for many investors,

inside and outside the country.

The huge industrialization across the state has accounted for the growing

economy of Gujarat and gives the state the unique distinction of being one of

the richest states in India. And the new IT initiatives taken by the various

industry sectors catalyze the flow of investment both in the industrial and

infrastructure sectors.

Despite various industrial and infrastructure developments, industry experts

believe that Small and Medium Businesses (SMBs) are still lagging in adopting

curve- the main reason being the lack of IT awareness.

CIOL SMB Forum helps the businesses adopt IT in the most effective way by

informing its members about the dos and don’ts of technology implementation.

SMB related IT issues are brought to the fore through its online forum (www.www.ciol.com/smbforum)

as well as networking events. These networking events are intended for SMBs to

interact with their peers, share experiences and knowledge in a event, as well

as hear experts speak on the business gains to be made from the latest

technologies and products.

After successful events in the cities of `Affordability">Bangalore,

`IT">Coimbatore,

'Involve">Hyderabad

and Pune,

CIOL SMB Forum is all set to rock two industrial cities of Gujarat, Ahmedabad,

and Vadodhara on 8th and 9th of June respectively.
