Isle of Man Presence at International Gaming Expo

by isleofman.com 27th January 2010

 

Manx Telecom are currently supporting the Isle of Man Government delegation at the high profile International Gaming Expo in London.

 

Senior managers from Manx Telecom will be manning an exhibition stand, working together with a team from the Department of Trade and Industry and other local businesses, to promote the Island as a premier jurisdiction for eBusiness and eGaming operators. 

 

The Expo is one of the largest events of its types, attracting most of the world’s leading Gaming companies, and the industries which support them, such as telecommunication companies, data centre owners, software developers, and corporate service providers.   Gaming, particularly online Gaming, is one of the world’s fastest growing industries, and the Island has already attracted some of the biggest names to locate and operate here.

 

"The International Gaming Expo is a key event for us," says Stephen Kane (pictured), eBusiness Development Manager at Manx Telecom.

 

"Our investment in a state of the art data centre, high capacity multi gigabit networks, and managed IT platforms, is playing a huge role in enabling the lsland to grow and develop an entirely new sector of the economy.  Growth in this sector not only helps to diversify our economy, and by the very nature of this business, attracts entrepreneurs and high net worth individuals to live and work on the Island. 

 

"At the same time, our growing eBusiness success is fostering a large and growing pool of technical specialists, boosting the Island’s skills base.  Global competition is fierce, but we are convinced that, working together, Manx Telecom and ‘Isle of Man plc’ have a great story to tell, and can demonstrate some unique advantages when it comes to basing an eBusiness, particularly an eGaming business, on the Island."
