It aims to enlighten and to nourish the discussions of the heads of state and government of G8 nations with the vision of the Web actors regarding the Internet's importance and impact on society and the economy.

Prominent Internet leaders, including Mark Zuckerberg, Eric Schmidt and Jeffrey Bezos, will attend the forum, taking place in Paris on 24 and 25 May 2011. Topics discussed include the mobile Web revolution, the future of e-commerce, and the paradigm-shifting technologies that will create the Internet of tomorrow. Numerous workshop sessions will concentrate on start-ups; the Internet's impact on the press; sharing value; e-governance; and mobility. For its reputation as a disruptor in the technology category of business intelligence (BI), Bj"ork was invited to speak on this moderated panel:
