Nowadays, the development of broadband and high-speed internet connections is
crucial for the quality of a location. Only with access to high speed rural and border
regions remain competitive, especially border regions and regions in rural areas.
Therefore, the European Commission supports further investments for broadband
supply on regional and local level. The aim of the conference is to highlight best
practice examples for the development of regional and local IT and business locations
on the way into the new digital age. An efficient telecommunication infrastructure
contributes to the development of interactive technologies, growth and innovation.
