The summit organizers said that it was attended by more than 600 people; they discussed IT in development, IT-technologies in education and start-up.

President of the Association of IT-companies of Moldova (ATIC), Irina Strajescu said that in 2017 the ICT Summit changed the venue and became more focused on practical issues.

“We discussed augmented reality and robotics in education and 3D printing. The one thing that remained unchanged is that the ICT Summit 2017 has been and still remains a platform of discussion for all stakeholders – the Government, business and international partners”, she said.
