To date, the EU has sponsored over 50,000 research projects and
the Technology Marketplace aims to provide users with access to the
results from these projects, and the latest in scientific and
technological innovation in Europe. This interactive multilingual
facility targets small to medium sized companies and seeks to
encourage innovation to promote success.
In addition, the Commission is promoting the e-economy
throughout Europe by opening a consultation period and inviting all
areas of business to make contributions.
The Commission is interested in feedback on potential
difficulties which businesses see in developing the e-economy, with
suggestions for solutions. In addition, it is also looking for
comments on areas of policy which businesses consider to be
influenced by the e-economy, and ideas on how to address any issues
which arise.
The consultation period ends 31st March 2002.
