New media and technologies enable new forms of collaboration. The geographical location looses importance, while competence and knowledge are getting more and more important. Innovative ways of working, using the potential of the net, are taking shape. In this regard netBase has two objectives: to give a global working community a local center and to help local people to successfully step into the global net. In this way the project joins synergistically the global with the local and the other way around..
 
From local to global:
Up to now you had to be in a city spending most of your time in offices in order to get a job or an education in the field of new media. This is mainly caused by the simple fact, that most modern companies and educational institutions are located in big cities. NetBase wants to offer the possibility to get contemporary jobs and education in the country - without commuting. The Internet, the appropriate knowledge and international relations make it possible.

Form global to local:
he net creates the opportunity to organize working communities, which are independent of any location. But meeting in reality outside cyberspace and working together face to face can not be replaced completely. For this purpose the center in used - it is the temporary working place for the members of an internet-based organization. The organization is a group of highly qualified professionals (technicians, designers, authors, universalists, etc.), who join their competencies, forces and contacts in order to offer services and products in the field of 'new media'.
