SUMMARY:Policy Summit 2023
DESCRIPTION:The “Policy Summit 2023” was jointly organized by the National Planning Commission and USAID T&C\, along with participation from prominent private sector organizations like CNI\, FNCCI\, FNCSI\, FWEAN\, HAN\, and NBA. Amidst a gathering of distinguished voices\, NAS-IT shared its views on the policies that could help build Nepal as an IT hub. While acknowledging the sector’s immense potential\, it also highlighted many challenges and hurdles in the political and legal fronts that need to be addressed for global expansion in the tech sector. NAS-IT’s presentation delved on various requests for policy amendments such as allowing Nepali tech companies to open their subsidiaries and joint-ventures abroad\, reducing the FDI minimum investment to under $20\,000 and creating a fast-paced FDI approval process\, prioritizing local companies while procuring software for government agencies\, etc.

SUMMARY:Bill Hackathon
DESCRIPTION:IT Bill Hackathon was a collaborative effort between NAS-IT and the Sumana Shrestha Secretariat. It aimed to understand the intricacies and uncover the loopholes in the IT Bill 2075. Over 30 creative minds from tech companies\, legal teams\, think tanks\, and research groups\, dived into discussions on problem identification and brainstormed amendments to this critical piece of legislation. But what was truly fascinating was the realization that the tech world and the legal arena often speak different languages. This event highlighted the knowledge gaps and emphasized on the urgent need of policy advocacy within the tech sector.
