Entrepreneur and visionary, Eudald Domènech
began his professional career in entertainment, radio and advertising.
He moved into the emerging TMT sector in 1993, when he started Servicom,
the first Spanish ISP to establish a point-to-point commercial Internet
service between the United States and Spain. Domènech
is considered by the sector as the first Internet businessman in
Spain.
In spring 1995, together with Nina Brink, he created the ISP World
Online, structured as franchisee of Servicom in Holland, in join
venture with NS, the Dutch railroad company. In order to expand
beyond the limitations of Internet connectivity provider, in December
of 1995, he sold Servicom and broadened his focus towards the creation
and commercialization of content for the Web. With this objective
in mind he founded Telepolis.
As Telepolis expanded it attracted investment from diverse editorial
and financial groups, including Anaya, Endemol and Bankinter. In
August 2000, Mr. Domènech signed an agreement
to merge with Eresmas Interactive S.A, and Telepolis was integrated
into the Grupo Auna. Once the integration of Telepolis with Eresmas
was complete, he left his executive positions in the group to serve
as external consultant, responsible for the development of new businesses
beyond the sphere of Telepolis. In this capacity, he created Techfoundries
and accepted the responsibilities of CEO.

of the European Institute for the Media, he is a member of the Digital
Circle of Barcelona (Barcelona Digital Circle), Chairman of the
