Presentation

The start of the competition on January 1st 2003 stimulates us to believe in a fruitful competition that will eventually lead to the development of the economic flux, but also in an interest pole which has to be made coherent in view of a competitive environment, with equal chances for both large operators, equipment and services providers, but also for SMEs.

Important firms will present to the audience and to potential beneficiaries from the real economy (services, industry, agriculture, tourism, financial/ banking system), viable projects for better use of the telecommunication infrastructure, with the national use of external credits for the last years.

In the first version of the conference program we propose an open and flexible structure, which will be in total harmony with your initiatives. The following versions will bring particular projections for each case presented in the workshops on Communications' Day.
