Vivernet, 'Business Centres in the Knowleged Era', is a measure developed within the Strategic Plan for development of the Society of Information in Extremadura, by the autonomous government in this South West region of Spain. The aim of this measure is to promote entrepreneurs from Extremadura's business projects related to the Knowledge Economy, all of whom have great creative skills and talent, but who lack the resources to develop their activities.
With this pledge, together with ERISA and IANIS, this event will unfold thus promoting from Extremadura the colaboration and exchange of experiences and knowledge with the rest of Europe.

,Objectives
Over the past decade or so, Europe has seen the development of policies and programmes supporting the creation of technology enterprises.

The intention is also to show the way forward, to define how to better orientate public funds devoted to support of technology companies, taking into account the opinion of the European Commission and the European Investment Bank.
Finally, the workshop aims to identify the real needs of these enterprises facing the challenges of achieving growth and consolidation. By identifying their needs, the workshop aims to define more precisely how best to support the growth and consolidation of this sector.
