CENTER LAUCHES ITS KNOWLEDGE NETWORK
PALO ALTO, CA., July 10, 2000-- On June 29, 2000, the Silicon
Valley World Internet Center (http://www.worldinternet
center.com) launched their Knowledge Network and next generation
of partnerships and sponsors of the Center. "Let us grow the Internet
Economy through the power of collaboration," called CEO and co-founder,
Dr. Susan J. Duggan as she outlined two new levels of sponsorship
now available at the Center and welcomed new Knowledge Network Partners,
Click Magazine and High Performance Resources. In a lively event
celebrating the Summer Solstice -- a time for reflection and growth
-- the Center welcomed over 160 high-level executives and entrepreneurs
from around the Silicon Valley and the world. Duggan underlined
the importance of collaborating in a fully balanced Knowledge Network
that brings together key producers of technologies, end-users and
individuals for the advancement of eMarkets. This basis serves the
high-level exchange of information, ideas, and insights shaping
the future of the Internet Economy. She called for large technology
producers to collaborate at the Center with the dot.coms, small
enterprises, entrepreneurs, visionaries, governments, academia,
NGOs and end-users.
Duggan announced two new levels of sponsorship in addition to the
current level of Executive Sponsor: Associate and Affiliate Sponsor.
Associate Sponsors will be mid-sized, innovative producers of technologies
and applications and established dot.coms, as well as key end-users
of Internet-based processes. Affiliate Sponsors will be pre-IPO,
innovative dot.com companies and other small, cutting-edge producers
of technologies and applications. All sponsors, including the current
Executive Sponsors (IBM, SAP, Deutsche Telekom, Hewlett-Packard,

of innovators in the Internet Revolution.
The Center welcomed, that evening, two new Knowledge Network Partners:

Economy. They both complement the core focus of the Center on cutting-edge
technologies and business models.
