  • Abstract
    According to HTML development and Web 2.0 paradigm and considering business workshops in two year class project in higher education level, we have observed huge disproportion in awareness of free access and ICT support that web 2.0 provides. People who were participants in these workshops had minimum 5 years of work experience in business and management field (part time students of College of Business and Management “Baltazar Adam Krčelić”). Conclusions from these workshops had shown that most of the Croatian small medium enterprises SME spend huge amount of provided budget for unnecessarily part of ICT support. Considering these facts we have also noticed low level use of free open source Web 2.0 tools, partly, coming from not having an idea or not understanding Web 2.0 potentials and possibilities. The main focus in this paper is on SME who need technology support for various purposes by conducting research with the aim of developing and implementing lifelong learning curriculum as support for SME business start-up projects by using free Web 2.0 tools.
