Presentation

Are you a Small or Medium Enterprise seriously thinking about using the Internet for business? Already using the Web - and now looking for the next step in integrating the use of the Internet into your business strategy? Want to know how others have done it, overcome the practical problems - and started making money on the Web? Searching for a strategic vision - or hands-on experience? Looking for new contacts for Web-related business? You'll find all this and more at the Business on the Web event! Business on the Web is unique in its focus on SMEs, its practical, hands-on approach, the opportunity it provides to learn about state-of-the-art Internet applications and technologies, and the insights it will give you into the "Global Marketplace for SMEs" G7 initiative.

Attending Business on the Web will give you:

• an overview of market and technology trends in non-technical, business-oriented language;

• an understanding of how issues like cost, security, performance and the laws on cross-border Internet trading are being tackled today - and how they are likely be dealt with tomorrow;

• a unique, insider view of how companies like yours have used the Web to achieve success;

• hands-on training by experts in practical issues such as how to design an attractive, market-oriented Web site;

• if you're already doing business on the Web, the chance to compete for the Business on the Web Award.

The Business on the Web event takes place in Paris on May 9-10. Organised by INRIA in cooperation with the European Commission, this major Internet-related event offers SMEs - small and medium-sized enterprises - the chance to catch up on state-of-the-art Internet technologies that can help them do business better. The Business on the Web days are part of the 5th International World Wide Web Conference, the most important international Web conference taking place this year.
