World Technology Network founder in Malta

by a staff reporter

Founder and President of the World Technology Network, James Clark was in Malta recently in his capacity as advisor and member of the iAnytimeAnywhere Network, of Gzira-based e-mobile business builder, iWORLD Group.
Mr Clark enjoys a formidable reputation in the international business community, and is listed as one of the 60 members of the ‘New York’ magazine’s ‘New Media Elite’.
This was Mr Clark’s second visit to Malta, following his participation in the iAnytimeAnywhere e-mobile summit in Gozo last November. He describes his affiliation with iWORLD Group as ‘an honour’ and commented that ‘iWORLD in Malta has all it takes to be a world-beater’.
Mr Clark set up World Technology Network, a global association of many of the most innovative and impactful people in the technology world, in 1997. It has achieved worldwide renown and prestige for its World Technology Awards Programme and its ambition to encourage fortuitous relationships among its members.
Before that, Mr Clark had previously spent more than 12 years developing ACCESS: Networking in the Public Interest, a US-based national nonprofit organisation that offered recruitment services for the US nonprofit sector and later in the areas of the arts, education, environment, social services and philanthropy.
In 1992 Mr Clark was invited to join the Clinton presidential campaign as one of campaign’s directors, as well as the organiser of various roundtable discussion during and after the election campaign.
His reputation grew further when two years later he set up Access.Point, one of the first Internet consultancies focused on the intersection between online technologies and public service.
Mr Clark spent three days on the island, meeting with iWORLD Group management and employees to offer his invaluable contribution to the development of the company. He plans to return to Malta every other month, as well as continuing to offer a regular contribution from his London base.
