Newestevent

Although it was extremely difficult to select the best of more than 130 project, the Program Committee made the cut. There is six, not five lucky finalists. The best ideas include a mobile e-store, which introduces e-commerce to the era of the iPhone; an innovative plug-in that allows to use Facebook marketing opportunities even better; the application which adds new interesting features to Outlook. One of the most interesting, perhaps even revolutionary, projects was the idea to create a digital alphabet, which enables free communication. Imagine the situation , when you speak in your mother tongue over the phone and the person on the other side of the globe hears your voice in his native language! Other finalist gave us the idea for portal, which is based on outsourcing logistics services for various e-commerce companies. Finally, the Committee has chosen a virtual meeting place for sponsors and event organizers that helps them find each other and cooperate.

Except the final six, another five authors of innovative projects will be invited to attend e-nnovation 2010 for free!

All participants were informed via e-mail about the results of the contest. Soon we will publish more information about the final projects.

For the convenience of our attendees we will provide simultaneous translation of all lectures at the conference. Presentations given in Polish will be translated to English and those made by English speaking guests will be translated to Polish.

We will also have a chance to see Nikolaj Nyholm, a former CEO of Polar Rose, a company awarded the prestigious title of Technology Pioneer at the World Economic Forum in Davos in 2008.

Jose A. del Moral and Nikos Anagnostou will show us how new phenomena and Internet trends change the e-commerce branch. They will discuss the influence of social networks on e-trade and focus on the latest e-commerce projects that have already won the West and prepare to storm the CEE market.
