The Road to 2010

The fifth annual conference of the German-British Forum centres on the impact of the internet on economic and corporate life in Europe.

The aim is to look beyond the fluctuating life-cycles of dotcom start-ups. Conference speakers analyse the consequences for established companies as they adjust to advances in communications and computer technologies.

The conference investigates the role of government policy-making in promoting the internet as an engine of growth, investment and employment.

And it explores the social and political implications of an industrial revolution that will affect millions of people well beyond the internet community.
