The ICT importance
of 6 months Virtual Congress for Young Entrepreneurs was demonstrated
by establishing, at a click of the computer, internet/spatial
connectivity to over 50 top experts on SMEs matters and how virtual
Learning/Sharing and e-business can be carried out "on-line".
The value of virtual photography use was illustrated too, as
small and medium enterprises of ACP countries also need to develop
a new mindset in our "spatial" era!
