During the opening keynote address at the fourth annual Government Leaders Conference, Microsoft Corp. Chairman and Chief Software Architect Bill Gates will outline Microsoft's commitment to empowering governments and their citizenry through innovative technology solutions. More than 400 government representatives from over 80 countries are attending the conference to learn more about e-government technology solutions and hear real-world examples of how these solutions are changing the way government agencies interact with citizens, businesses and other governments. In his keynote address, Gates will describe two such solutions: the United Kingdom's Government Gateway project, an initiative designed to have 100 percent of government transactions online by 2005; and Accenture's eGovernment Accelerator, a solution designed to help governments deliver seamless services across agencies via the Internet.
