Exhibition by VTEC in the "Towards a Knowledge Society - The Nordic Experience" European Commission Ministerial Conference, 14 - 15 November 2005, Gothenburg, Sweden
		During the Ministerial Conference "Towards a Knowledge Society - the Nordic Experience", that was organised by the European Commission and its Swedish partners on 14 -15 November 2005 in Gothenburg, Sweden, Volvo Technology contributed with a well visited exhibition and a demonstrator truck to promote the active safety applications where among others the VDM Tool (demo by Peter Kronberg) was presented. The Conference's goal is to assist the EU in becoming "the most competitive and dynamic knowledge-based economy in the world", by making the best use of available public funding and especially EU Structural and other funding. The Conference focused on the Knowledge Society in all EU Member States as being a top priority. The EU Structural Funds together with the EU Framework Programme for Research and Technological Development (RTD) provide important tools to address this challenge. One of the conference topics was ICT for transport, and especially traffic safety. Besides EU-ministers and members of the European Commission also other leading representatives of the political, academy and economy world, in total about 300 persons, participated.
