Information Industry South Africa

Information Industry South Africa, an ICT umbrella body formed in October 1999, provides a co-ordinated forum for the industry to address issues of common interest and is an effective channel of communication with Government, particularly in relation to the issues of overlapping ICT related programmes and projects in the country. IISA promotes an understanding of the value that ICT can contribute to improving the quality of life of the South African population.

Information and communications technology specialists need a forum where regional, national and international information networks and associations can meet, exchange ideas and formulate common policies.

Although the members have different interests, all share the need for a healthy ICT industry in South Africa. Information Industry South Africa will provide the facilities to give a more streamlined network to develop resources, exchange accurate information, and improve the understanding of the various issues in the ICT industry.

Information Industry South Africa also works to attract international conferences and exhibitions to South Africa.
