Abstract

Report of the Canadian E-Business Opportunities Roundtable
January 2000

The Canadian E-Business Opportunities Roundtable was formed in mid-1999 to develop a strategy for accelerating Canada's participation in the Internet economy. Its goal was to establish Canada as a globally recognized e-business leader to promote a higher quality of life for our citizens through economic growth, job creation and more convenient access to information, goods and services.

This report speaks to a wide audience of Canadian thought leaders and decision makers in the business, government and educational communities. It is for current and potential participants in the Internet economy – a group that includes not only pure Internet businesses, but also the hardware suppliers, service and content providers, software developers, financiers and professional service providers that support those businesses. It includes existing Canadian businesses and institutions, large and small, across all sectors, which can embrace the Internet as a new way to do business more rapidly, efficiently, and profitably.
