The Business dexterity in the Northern Aegean is a process that depends on many parameters and particularities that are not always easily perceptible.

A critical particularity is the "inequality" that is created for regions like ours, a region which is called to be competitive within the extended European reality having however the weakness of access of information and development that is taken place in the centres of accumulation of activities.

Consequently this Virtual Cluster, that has been created through D.P. EQUAL, aspires to become the core of new Business dexterity, to develop the networking between the enterprises and to exploit the new technologies such as e-commerce and internet marketing that are to a large extent unknown or inapplicable to our region.

Our objective is to help the participating in this cluster companies gain access in extended markets, recognition of their products and their services, effectiveness in their trade efforts.

This Site is characterized by the fact that it is a "work in development ", it begins with 24 enterprises and it will continue with the integration of more. Its success lies in the make of "force through unity " that is to say in the networking of enterprises and in the increase of their turnover.

Finally the ambition of this experimental and perhaps innovative effort is to make our seas to constitute not the border that separates us from the rest of the world but the one that links us to it.
