Jos Blejie, CEO of ICT Group N.V.: “2016 has been a good year in which we have made many steps in the execution of our strategy. We continued with a clear focus on what we try to accomplish every day; making the world a bit smarter with our technologies and skills. We further shaped the company into an even more customer centric organisation, which translated into healthy organic growth of 8%. With the acquisitions of the past year, we have further strengthened our position in our three main themes; Smarter Industries, Smarter Cities and Smarter Health. In 2016 we continued to challenge innovation and entrepreneurship. With success. A range of new business development initiatives were originated. We will continue to invest substantially in new technologies and the development of new solutions. We defined our strategy in 2015, delivered on an accelerated execution in 2016, and are excited to continue our successful strategy and further build on our strong foundation in 2017.
