News Release

Forrester Research To Address How China and India Will Redefine the Technology World Order
Indo-Chinese Influence In Global Tech Sector Not Preordained
WHAT: The technology industry's historical US-centric world
        order is waning due to the rapid growth of India and China,
        with their tech-savvy middle-class, IT-hungry corporations,
        and rapidly expanding innovation capabilities. Forrester
        Research, Inc. (Nasdaq: FORR) projects three scenarios for the
        evolution of this new tech world order based on how a number
        of factors play out, including India's and China's sustained
        domestic market growth rates and governmental support for free
        market activities.

        Regardless of how the global tech sector evolves during the
        next two decades, US tech vendors should learn to cooperate
        through global Innovation Networks: multipolar ecosystems that
        exploit India's and China's huge markets and growing talent
        pools. Forrester's advice: Assess your willingness to take
        risks when investing in these emerging markets.

        Forrester Vice President Navi Radjou and Senior Analyst Simon
        Yates will present the findings from a new report, "How India,
        China Redefine The Tech World Order," and address how US
        companies -- both tech vendors and Fortune 500 IT users -- can
        devise a sound strategy that will allow them to exploit the
        talent and market opportunities available in India and China,
        while minimizing the threats, like a cooling of the red-hot
        Chinese economy.

        A media Q&A session will immediately follow the panel.
