e-Gibraltar
International e-Business Centre
The
Government of Gibraltar is endeavouring to make Gibraltar an International
e-Business Centre and firmly believes that Gibraltar is in a position
to benefit greatly from ICT and it's development as an information
society.
The information,
communication and technological revolution has created new economies
for many countries and thus has had a profound impact on commerce,
education, entertainment, banking, leisure, travel and legislation.
In this day and age, governments, organisations & businesses
alike need to rethink and adapt their practices in order to keep
up with an ever-changing business environment that relishes from
advances in technology.
The Government of Gibraltar has subsequently been developing strategies
to create an ideal setting for businesses to trade electronically.
This online business undertaking will be supported by a faster and
more reliable framework of telecommunications, infrastructure and
legislation in view of assisting the growth of electronic trade.
The new liberalisation and regulation of telecommunications, the
introduction of The Electronic Commerce Act (TECA 2001) and the
adoption of EU directives into local legislation will give Gibraltar
a great advantage over other offshore jurisdictions competing in
the same marketplace.
