Regio Inforegio Introduction The City of Derry in Northern Ireland will play host to a major European
conference on innovative ICT and E-Government Practice on 25 November 2008. This
event will mark the launch of one of the selected "fast track" networks under
the European Commission's Regions for Economic Change initiative, which aims at
providing a platform for exchanges between regional policy makers and represents
a further step in involving the region in European policy as set out in the
report of the
Northern
Ireland Task Force set up by President Barroso in 2007.
Description
The network, entitled PIKE – Promoting Innovation and the Knowledge Economy –
seeks to stimulate the successful uptake of information society practices at a
regional level, particularly in the area of broadband and internet access, and
eGovernment.
Bringing together experts from business, the public sector, academic and the
European Commission, the conference aims to provide a forum for discussion
around the promotion of an environment (physical, administrative, social and
economic) in which innovative practice in e-government, broadband and wireless
technologies can be transferred throughout Europe.
The event will profile award-winning models of good practice and business
leaders will provide delegates with an insight into revolutionary innovations
for the delivery of public services in the future.
