Digital believes that Internet will play a very important role in most peoples lifes in just a few years time - simply because it gives us more freedom to choose, and an opportunity to do things faster, cheaper and more efficiently. That's why the Internet is growing so rapidly, supporting real-world needs, and at the same time making it an important business opportunity for Digital.

But still, only few people are aware of how they can benefit from the Internet. For us, the European Internet Business Group at Digital there is a need to build concrete and innovative examples (see bottom) where content and usefulness is in focus, while making innovative use of new technology. Because Internet is all about communication between people, across cultural, lingual, and geographical borders. The rest is - technology!

Digitals future as a company relies on new generations of employees carrying the right skills to be successful in a global economy. People of a new breed that has not only learnt that global communication must build on a mutual trust and respect between individuals of diverse cultures, traditions and local conditions - but who has also learnt to take full advantage of such differences to bring new dimensions to their lifes and professions.

Business partnership for common goals is a cornerstone in Digitals strategy for success in the new age. The BlueWave project shows how cooperation and partnership built on mutual respect can make even 'impossible' projects not only 'possible' but even successful!

All these aspects play an important role in the BlueWave project; an example of innovative and productive use of the Internet, partnership for common goals, and cross-cultural communication using the Internet. For these reasons, Digitals European Internet Business Group is delighted to support and actively participate in the Bluewave project with computer equipment, competence and management resources in a strong partnership with the BlueWave Internet Team.
