Concept plans for the development of the new state-of-the-art Telecom ICT Park have been revealed and once constructed, it is set to revolutionise Fiji’s information and technology industry and boost Fiji’s growing BPO sector.

The Telecom ICT park was announced in the 2021 National Budget by the Minister for Communications, Aiyaz SayedKhaiyum, pledging the Government’s support in terms of tax concessions. 

Telecom Fiji Chief Executive Officer, Charles Goundar, says this development will offer opportunities to youths who may be seeking a career in the fields of engineering and ICT. 

The Park will host a research and development centre, where emerging ICT technologies can be simulated and tested by students and enterprises, as well as an incubation centre geared for computing science graduates and budding business owners willing to undertake specific projects and explore options in setting up their businesses.

The data centre will host a range of major content platforms already hosted in the Telecom network such as Google, Netflix, Facebook, and TikTok, and enable Fiji to attract other major content providers to also consider hosting their platforms in Fiji.

Apart from that, businesses will be able to securely host their backup IT infrastructure in the data centre or take advantage of the cloud services that will be offered. 

The Park will host a large conference centre and training facilities.
