Information and Communication Technologies. The Annual Broadband Study by Cisco (2010) ranked Bulgaria 5th in the world and 3rd in Europe in terms of internet speed. It also placed the country 3rd in Europe and 10th worldwide regarding the absolute number of certified ICT professionals. Bulgaria offers qualified human resources working on world-level projects and at competitive salaries. Currently between 50 000 and 60 000 people are employed in the sector. ICT is traditionally an export-oriented sector. The country has strong NGOs in the sector. Bulgaria is well prepared for becoming a regional hub because it hosts a number of world and local IT leaders, like SAP, VMware, Xxxxxxx Controls, CISCO, HP, Telerik, Musala Soft, Melon Inc. etc. Unlike most of the sectors of the Bulgarian economy, the IT industry showed a stable performance in 2010 and 2011. However, it was not demand on the local market that supported the IT sector. The IT companies, especially the software developers, counted on foreign clients to keep revenues intact. The trend is expected to continue in 2012 with growing need for highly- qualified IT professionals. The main problem facing the software industry is the shortage of highly qualified professionals on the local market. If the problem persists, the local IT industry could miss the chance of achieving the expected tenfold growth in the next decade, according to market experts. The lack of well-trained specialists forces domestic IT companies to outsource part of their activities to firms in Macedonia and Serbia or to hire foreigners. Estimations about the future development are the following:

Information and Communication Technologies. The industry gives 15 percent of the Hungarian GDP and it gives work for more than one hundred thousand persons. In 2011, nearly 3 billion USD was spent on the IT sector in Hungary. In the past 2 years, the global economic transformation did not avoid the national IT sector, it is expected that the leading firms of the industry will be de-emphasised, and will have market loss; and smaller, specialized businesses will come into prominence.36 Contrary parliamentary decisions can contribute to the fact that the members of the profession, which fights with shortage of labour, will leave the country. The information technology sector can play a major role in the retaining of the professional labour. The lack of qualified and professional labour and the lack of the newly graduated youth cause bigger and bigger problems in Hungary and also in the ICT sector. Because of this, Hungary may lose serious projects.37 34 Sources: xxxx://xxx.xxxx.xx/new3/adatok/zip_doc/eg-szoc-rendsz.pdf and National Development Agency. 2007.

It should be underlined that information technology infrastructure sector in Poland is relatively modern and has been recently constantly developed, however there are also some low performance areas with poor coverage in terms of IT infrastructure (particularly in Eastern Poland). Moreover, the level of innovative solutions and applications utilised by particular entities is also unsatisfactorily low. Relatively weakest prospects draw against segments such as software, ERP and CRM, and training services segment of Green IT.
