Dear Company,
Have you heard about the smeSpire project?
smeSpire is a Support Action of the EU’s 7th Framework Program, aiming to turn the INSPIRE European Directive into business opportunities for private sector companies dealing with Geographic Information in Europe (http://www.smespire.eu/).
The purpose of the project is to encourage and enable the participation of Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) in making environmental and spatial data available and usable.
The European Commission Joint Research Centre (EC-JRC) is involved in the smeSpire project together with other 14 organisations from 12 Member States.
We would like very much your contribution by responding to the survey available at the following web address:
It will take you about 20 minutes to complete, and we would invite you to think of this time as an investment for your company.
If possible, we kindly ask you to complete the survey during the next two weeks.
The survey is available in different languages; you may save your answers as a draft and resume the survey later.
By filling in the survey, you will become part of the smeSpire network of European Geo-ICT SMEs, and will enjoy the following benefits of project:
· be included in the Network database: the largest public on GeoICT SME’s, a searchable and structured repository of information on the characteristics, activities and competencies of Geo-ICT SMEs in Europe.
· access our Training Platform: acquire knowledge and skills on INSPIRE and all the related implementation issues.
· insert your Best Practice in the catalogue of INSPIRE implementations
· receive news and updates
· use additional resources as soon as they become available
By completing the survey you will also receive the first smeSpire newsletter, with news and details about the project.
This is a great opportunity to promote your business, advertise your skills and get in touch with other similar companies, helping to enlarge your market in Europe.
Thanks for your help.
