Initiative

The rapid development of broadband services and rapid digitalization creates a need for a place where people can exchange their ideas and solutions. The analysis of the market showed that the region lacks an institution that will promote and discuss the open issues of the broadband industry in South East European region. The mission of SEE Council is to give the opportunity for high performance knowledge exchange in the region.

Project

In order to promote the Council and its activities, we developed the project for the first SEE Broadband Conference and Exhibition, a two-day regional conference, which was held from 14 to 15 November 2012 in hotel "Aleksandar Palas" - Skopje, Macedonia. The conference and exhibition consisted of presentations and panel discussions, mainly elaborating the development of broadband services and digitalization in every aspect from social importance to creating national strategies, creating new business opportunities and investments in the region. The Minister for Information Society and Administration, Mr. Ivo Ivanovski together with distinguished guests opened the first SEE Broadband Conference.

The goal of this conference and exhibition was to unite at one place at the same time all participants in the creation and development of broadband services and digital evolution of the region and worldwide.

Results

The conference was visited by 200 guests and 15 exhibitors creating the perfect base for further development and discussion of the broadband industry in the region. The evaluation forms showed that we created a conference that will bring international influence and depict development and advanced changes in the broadband industry.
