WITSA



World Information Technology and Services Alliance


General Information


 
The World Information Technology and Services Alliance (WITSA) is a consortium of 78 information technology (IT) industry associations from economies around the world. WITSA members represent over 90 percent of the world IT market. As the global voice of the IT industry, WITSA is dedicated to: 

  • Advocating policies that advance the industry’s growth and development
  • Facilitating international trade and investment in IT products and services
  • Strengthening WITSA’s national industry associations through the sharing of knowledge, experience, and critical information
  • Providing members with a vast network of contacts in nearly every geographic region of the world
  • Hosting the World Congress on IT, the premier industry sponsored global IT event
  • Hosting the Global Public Policy Conference and hosting the Global Information Security Summit

 

Goals

 

Founded in 1978 and originally known as the World Computing Services Industry Association, WITSA has increasingly assumed an active advocacy role in international public policy issues affecting the creation of a robust global information infrastructure, including:  

  • Increasing competition through open markets and regulatory reform
  • Protecting intellectual property
  • Encouraging cross-industry and government cooperation to enhance information security
  • Bridging the education and skills gap
  • Reducing tariff and non-tariff trade barriers to IT goods and services, and safeguarding the viability and continued growth of the Internet and electronic commerce

WITSA has a real impact on the global IT environment. It strengthens the industry at large by promoting a level playing field and by voicing the concerns of the international IT community in multilateral organizations, including the World Trade Organization (WTO), the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, the G-8 and other international fora where policies affecting industry interests are developed.
