The Polish Agency for Enterprise Development presents more than twenty outstanding projects operating in the field of e-services (Action 8.1 OP IG) and B2B technologies (Action 8.2 OP IG). The e-book was created in cooperation with experts from Ideacto and is available at www.web.gov.pl.
The Polish Agency for Enterprise Development has published the latest, free publication. This time it presents more than twenty outstanding projects that operate in the area of e-services (action 8.1 OP IG) and B2B technologies (action 8.2 OP IG).
A new PARP publication has appeared on the website “We support e-business” at www.web.gov.pl. Its authors presented outstanding services in the area of e-services (Action 8.1 PO IG). Each project described in the e-book has been carefully evaluated on the basis of an extensive methodology developed jointly with Ideacto.
The selection of good practices in the field of e-services and in the area of B2B technologies was made on the basis of the catalogue of projects published on the PARP website, dedicated to the development of the electronic economy www.web.gov.pl. On the portal there are more than 500 described e-service projects (about 1200 of all signed co-financing agreements) and more than 110 described B2B projects (about 600 of all signed co-financing agreements). Only fully operational projects were subject to evaluation, and in the case of e-services only those that had a market launch.
Among the distinguished services were: Evenea.pl, Bitbank.pl, Admatik.pl, Fru.pl, Kontomierz.pl, Jak.pl, Fidbek.pl, Slimon.pl, Cotanio.pl, Audioteka.pl, SkyCash.pl, OpenTravel.com, WebePartners.pl, Projektoskop.pl, Zosiaikevin.pl, Drogopol.pl, Velkom.pl, Integer.pl, Oponeo.pl, Cermotor.com.pl, SES-support.pl.
The publication did not lack interviews with the creators of individual projects, where they describe their achievements to date and reveal the nearest plans for the development of their companies. The overall picture is completed by the assessments of industry experts — among them are Cezary Lech (MaxRoy), Sebastian Kwięzyl (Epic Ventures), Tomasz Karwatka (Divante), Marta Klimowicz and Nikodem Krajewski (Ideacto), or Artur Kurasiński (Revolver).
- By selecting the best done and future-proof projects, we can point other companies in which direction they should go with their sites. Therefore, it is worth presenting the most interesting projects to a wider audience — says Paweł Skowera, Chief Specialist from the External Communication Team of the Polish Agency for Enterprise Development.
The methodology available in the PARP publication can be useful not only for projects that were created within the framework of actions 8.1 and 8.2 of the OP IG - it is universal enough that it can be used by the creators of almost any Internet venture. The project evaluation team paid attention to, among others, the idea, the quality of the website, the ways of promoting the project, international development plans or models of monetization of the e-service. The PARP publication includes projects from almost all rounds of calls under actions 8.1 and 8.2 of the OP IG.
- Thanks to the support under the 8.1 POIG measure, projects are being created in Poland that are in no way inferior to foreign ones and can confidently compete on the local markets - says Nikodem Krajewski from Ideacto agency - It will be worth watching their development even after the end of the funding period.
