Electronic information as a strategic resource to increase the competitiveness of European SMEs

A workshop on "Electronic information as a strategic resource to increase the competitiveness of European small and medium-sized enterprises" will take place in Luxembourg on 28 May 1996. It is organized by DG XIII/E of the European Commission in the framework of the INFO2000 programme for a European multimedia content industry (1996-1999).

Sessions will be held on the following:

- The role of sectoral associations;
- The transfer process from large enterprises towards SMEs;
- The need for new skills: the role of education.

The workshop will examine the synergy between these three tools - sectoral associations, transfer and education - for SMEs.

In addition, the workshop will provide an overview of two projects, COMPACT and TRAIN-SME, funded under the IMPACT II programme, the predecessor of INFO2000, for the establishment of an internal information services market (1991-1995).
