Greetings:
You are invited to subscribe to the World Bank's TechNet Think Tank
electronic discussion "Identifying Critical Technologies for Developing
Countries." The conference will be operated jointly by TechNet and the

developing countries, paying particular attention to the needs and roles

HOW IT WORKS

electronic means. Approximately 20 experts from government, private
sector, academia, NGOs, international organizations and the World Bank
will discuss these issues for a period of four weeks. The discussion will
be broadcast only to subscribers, but readers are encouraged to comment
and to pose questions.
