Entrepreneurship in high‐tech applications based on information and communication technologies (IT and CT) is becoming more important with fast growing markets worldwide in the field of information society technologies. In this essay is described the rationale behind TRAIN‐IT, a new training program funded by the European Commission whose main objective is to quickly bridge the gap between IT technologists and IT investors. TRAIN‐IT is expected to give rise to thirty new IT companies in the next two years. First results, statistics, ans stories are reported after one year of work.
