What people say about VBN...
"This is groundbreaking stuff. Administrating grant applications is an extraordinarily complex process, particularly where the funds available run into millions of pounds. This unique system enables a simple online registration, eligibility checking and application process enabling us to stay on top of thousands of applications and track their progress through the system.
We are also accountable to the EU and the system will allow us to report to them effectively and to track where funds are at any point in time. We will also be able to demonstrate a huge return on investment by massively reducing our administration costs. "
Steve Cargill, Project Officer, Lincolnshire Broadband Team on the Grant Administration System developed by VBN |

Published in the Cambridge Evening Newspaper
27th May 2004
Virtual Business Network in Cambridge has won a contract to develop web services to help electronics manufacturers cope with coming legislation on lead.
Tin Technology has asked VBN to do business, with thousands of small electronics firms across Europe worrying about how the new law will affect their business. The planned EU directive on the Restriction of Hazardous Substances in Electrical Equipment will ban lead from electronic products from 2006.
This is as a result of health and safety reports that it poses a potential threat to human health and the environment if improperly discarded.
The web network is expected to act as a lifeline to the electronics industry, providing support to companies, identifying high priority areas for industry collaboration, and evaluating substitutes.
John Jeffrey, ceo of VBN said: 'This is a fascinating project which aims to help the European electronics industry overcome the financial and technological consequences of the lead-free transitional period.'
