YES President Dimitris Tsigos will speak at the lunch conference “inSpire ME! Young entrepreneurs on the internet”, organized by SME Union on 9 February. 
 

World statistics show that the population of internet users has grown by 444.8 % in the last decade. Europe’s population has been still partially penetrated by the web: only 58.4 % of the total amount of European citizens is using internet (against 77.4 % in North America).  The result is that at the moment only 42.2 % of the internet population is European.Furthermore internet potential is not well understood especially from the economic point of view. While internet has disrupted several industries, it has empowered several others, especially small and medium enterprises.

Aim of the conference is to discuss potential benefits of web entrepreneurship such as geographic expansion, access to online tools, easier recruitment, simplified customers payment, increased feedback and interaction with customers, more effective marketing.
 

The conference will present three successful cases of Belgian web entrepreneurs and will be followed by a panel debate. Together with Tsigos, representatives from associations of young students, young politicians, and a representative of the Cabinet of Commissioner Tajani will also give their contribution.
