We talk with Sasa Software’s Oren Dvoskin about why 2017 will be, reluctantly, their best year. The image of Oren Dvoskin, Commercial Manager of the Americas at Sasa Software, sitting in his nondescript office, black t-shirt and headphones, looks Californian, as he spells out the pessimism of his profession.

We will be visiting Philadelphia on 23rd and 24th Feb, specifically to talk with local US companies interested in having a more global footprint. Direct from the HIMSS Conference in Orlando, we are looking to advise and then take, start-ups or specialist health or smart-energy companies into the European area, through the network of relationships

We look at our plans for immediate Q1 and ask; in a divided world, where are the new markets? There are three areas that need discussion. Turkey – is the situation really as bad as our Embassies make out? We have a meeting with the British Embassy in Ankara in January to evaluate precisely that.

We look at some surprising developments in this forgotten market. Nobody in their right mind would consider a major “international” push in that troubled territory – Ukraine. This is the conventional thinking, and it is based on destabilisation of which we are all aware. Except that, the thing is; this thinking, might now be wrong.

We look at the changing scene in Sweden and the Baltics. Actually (to answer this briefly) – no it’s not. It is simply changing. And it is changing a LOT. What that means is – new areas of influence are coming up, and you would not see them coming. And recognised IT and industrial growth

Global Health Sumex – Ankara For those of you looking at new and productive Healthcare IT markets – Turkey is again in the frame. With a population of 60 million, and with an openness that has never gone away despite media impressions – this Conference in 19th-21st October is important.
