In line with the Titah by His Majesty Sultan Haji Hassanal Bolkiah
Mu'izzaddin Waddaulah Ibni Al-Marhum Sultan Haji Omar 'Ali Saifuddien
Sa'adul Khairi Waddien, Sultan and Yang Di-Pertuan of Negara Brunei
Darussalam and recognizing the imperative need to establish an ICT
Federation to look after its industry players as the voice of the
industry, the InfoComm Federation Brunei (IFB) was formed in 2007.
The formation of the InfoCom Federation Brunei was an initiative by
then the BAG Networks Sdn Bhd, realising the need for Brunei
Darussalam to have an ICT Federation that could look after its
industry players. BAG Networks hosted a gathering comprising Infocom
organisations on May 30, 2007 at the Business Centre, Empire Hotel, to
pitch the idea which had garnered good support at the time. This was
then followed up by an informal discussion chaired by the then
chairman of BAG Network, Dato Seri Setia Haji Ali Apong who was also
the Permanent Secretary at the Ministry of Finance at the time.
Ten local organisations attended the discussion including
Alif Technologies, Syabas Technologies, DST Group, Telbru, ITIS
Wescot, KPF Comserve, BAG Networks, Xecutech, E-Prime Networks and
Komputer Wisman. Post meeting, a pro-team committee consisting of
these companies was then formed with a goal of registering the
organisation and establishing the initial Executive Committee.
