THE GLOBAL IT TRENDS THROUGH THE NAXEX POV

With the approach of the next edition of the top international event for the software industry in Bulgaria – ISTA Conference 2016, Mr. Georgi Gerginov, CEO of NaXex Technological Development, talks about the latest trends in the industry and their effect on our life and business. In the digital era four major developments can be seen in the near future, that will continue to shape the business globally – smart and connected devices, big data and the cloud. According to the latest stats 90% of executive directors see the digitalization as the key for the global industries transformation. Bulgaria also is keeping up with the newest processes and tech, with the most important direction for future growth being the development of original products for export.

„Bulgaria is popular with its IT sector and its highly qualified professionals, especially in our software industry. At the moment around 10 000 tech companies are operating in the country, and their revenue for this year is €5.5B, which is a 5% growth. The software segment is developing rapidly, and have tripled in the last 5-10 years. According to our estimation around 50 000 experts are employed in the industry, but the business needs at least more 20- 30 000 specialists. The potential can be seen and the government needs to provide a healthy environment for the business to grow. The most important part is to provide the best possible level of education for the future professionals. Exchanging valuable know-how is also vital for the future development of the industry. Platforms like the international software conference ISTA next month in Sofia provide a stage to distinguished IT experts to share their knowledge and experience with their colleagues and in this way we can get a glimpse inside the global market place.”, said Georgi Gerginov, CEO of NaXex Technological Development.

This year the international conference for the software industry – ISTA 2016, will take place on November 15-16 at Sofia Event Centre with NaXex being the Gold Sponsor of the Forum.
