Overview

The nature of business success in the infocomm industry is evolving and spotting untapped opportunities in the market is no longer sufficient. In today's environment, strong partnerships with large, established industry players will be critical to help iLEs secure a foothold in the local, regional and global infocomm landscape. Conversely, by partnering with iLEs, established players can leverage the iLEs' local knowledge and innovations to extend the adoption and pervasiveness of their technology platforms.

iLIUP promotes strategic, mutually beneficial partnerships between iLEs and infocomm MNCs. In the spirit of win-win collaboration, iLIUP's underlying principle is to foster partnerships that result in enhancing local infocomm capabilities and competitiveness, and translating these into increased market shares and revenues for MNC partners. iLIUP supports each MNC partner with a dedicated manager to develop partnerships with iLEs and ensure their success.

Since 2002, iLIUP has helped iLEs develop more than 560 new or enhanced products/solutions, trained more than 1,700 infocomm manpower headcounts, and gained more than $198 million revenue.
