A new development program will soon bring much-needed expertise in assisting innovative, technology-driven Small and Medium Sized Enterprises (SMEs) and entrepreneurs in Africa, Asia, and Eastern Europe, Caucasus and Central Asia (ECA). The four-year program, valued at €11.9 million, known as Creating Sustainable Businesses in the Knowledge Economy, will focus on enhancing the competitiveness of SMEs in the information and communication technologies (ICT) and agribusiness sectors in particular, as well as the use of the mobile communications platform to grow content, services and applications for developing countries.
We sent out 346 invitations on Sunday for everyone who is within our AIN and AIN on Linkedin databases to join us here on the YouNoodle platform.
The YN software should ensure that no-one gets multiple emails and we welcome your feedback here how succesfully that announcement has been received.
It is encouraging to see so many of you already here tonight.
If we have been successful you should find yourselves already mapped on the MS Bing map I have built. If find you aren't [or I have got it wrong!] please post an alert here for me and I will capture your website URL etc and add your Incubator. Please can you forward direct to us any of your organisational details that are not already on your website [Incubator Manager, address, tel:no etc]
The infoDev Incubator Training Program will be formally launched in March 2010. Information on course offerings and fees will be made available at that time. Please subscribe to the idisc newsletter to stay informed.
