Telecom Fiji renews TOPEX platinum sponsorship

Telecom Fiji has renewed its platinum sponsorship of the Top Executive Conference (TOPEX) 2026, reaffirming its support for business leadership, innovation and digital transformation in Fiji.

The telecommunications company renewed its partnership with the Fiji Commerce and Employers Federation (FCEF) during the TOPEX Platinum Sponsor re-signing event at the Employers Hub in Suva on Friday.

Telecom Fiji Chief Marketing Officer Saileshni Chand said the company remained committed to supporting platforms that brought together business leaders, entrepreneurs and decision-makers to exchange ideas and contribute to Fiji's future growth.

"At Telecom Fiji, we believe that strong businesses create stronger communities, stronger industries and a stronger Fiji," Ms Chand said.

She said TOPEX had become one of Fiji's leading business and leadership forums, providing opportunities for dialogue, collaboration and knowledge sharing as organisations adapted to an increasingly digital and connected world.

"Whether through fibre connectivity, cloud services, cybersecurity solutions, mobile communications or emerging digital platforms, we remain focused on helping businesses thrive," Ms Chand said.

FCEF vice-president and TOPEX chair Rowena Taito said Telecom Fiji's support extended beyond sponsorship.

"What we have with Telecom goes beyond just a sponsorship. They're a true partner. They help us shape the event," Ms Taito said.

She said Telecom Fiji had supported TOPEX for more than a decade before becoming the conference's platinum sponsor last year.

Ms Taito said the company's contribution included bringing experts to the conference, including speakers on artificial intelligence, to help businesses understand and apply emerging technologies.

She said TOPEX had grown into a key forum where businesses, government agencies, non-governmental organisations and other stakeholders came together to discuss opportunities and challenges facing Fiji's business sector.

Last year's conference attracted more than 400 participants, with 40 per cent attending for the first time and more than 30 per cent returning after attending the event more than three times.

The TOPEX 2026 conference will be held from November 19 to 21.

Ms Taito thanked Telecom Fiji for its continued support, saying the partnership played an important role in strengthening business growth and leadership development in Fiji.
