With broadband connections, new forms of business innovation can transform the lives of individuals, increase social cohesion and contribute to economic growth. But the communities whose economies are most likely to benefit from broadband are currently the worst placed to profit from the Information Society due to lack of connectivity and socio-economic factors.&lt;br /&gt;The EU is determined to bridge the broadband gap, mobilising all relevant policy instruments, programmes and stakeholders - hence the high-level endorsement from European Commissioners in four relevant fields.&lt;br /&gt;Over the two days the conference was attended by about 780 people, including expert speakers and exhibitors who explored how the strategic use of ICTs can support regional and local development and infrastructure, overcome geographical obstacles, and make these areas more attractive to business and individuals alike.
