The training contentA training content on e-business and the benefits to SME competitiveness.
This content aims at improving managerial understanding and skills in e-business by entrepreneurs, based on best practices, local e-government services and will be written in easy “business” language. It will include basic IT knowledge, an introduction to both B2C and B2B e-business models and practices, and issues on entrepreneurship over the internet (web marketing, e-logistics, Customer Relationship Management, etc.), together with a guide on how to make an e-business plan. The training content will initially be created in English, in a generic way, by COPCA in close cooperation with GRNET. In a second phase, the other partners will localize it by translating it and by adding the local/ regional e-government services to SMEs and some local e-business best practices.
Athens, 8 December 2008 20
The e-learning platform
A multilingual, interactive and user-friendly e-learning platform enriched with the training content. It is a strategic choice to focus on technology enhanced professional learning, having in mind that in the very close future, the technological possibilities, especially mobile and broadband solutions, will change today's learning scenarios and that the provision of e-learning services will grow substantially, to satisfy the growing demand of professionals in SMEs. FTZ will be responsible for the creation of the platform.

SME Seminars The pilot implementation of the best practice policy measures will take
place through targeted SME seminars (80.320) (at least 30 SMEs). In each targeted region, one of the methodologies studied in the study visits will be applied, the one chosen by the “beneficiary” partner. The “e-tutors” (see component 3) will have an important role, using the EVITA training content through the EVITA e-learning platform, and the methodologies delivered during the e-tutors seminar in Malta.
Additionally, in one case (Bulgaria), there will be experimentation on tele-learning technologies and methodologies in order to reach SMEs in remote areas, with low cost and high efficiency. The seminar will be delivered from Sofia to a number of different locations in Bulgaria, through the Bulgarian network of tele-centers. The deployment of this tele-seminar will be web-transmitted and video-recorded, so that the methodology is disseminated to all other interested regions.
