The agreement will make WoI a key internet partner of the Irish team, as well as an official sponsor. WoI will provide Jordan with a range of e-services to support the development of the Jordan’s e-business strategy. The contract is valued at several million DM and will run for the next three years.

At the announcement Eddie Jordan said, “We are pleased to welcome World of Internet on board and look forward to implementing our e-business strategy in co-operation with them. We identified WoI as having the skills we require to develop our internet presence, and it is particularly pleasing that we have secured another important partner from within the German market. With Heinz-Harald Frentzen as one of our drivers, and Deutsche-Post already a major sponsor, I would like to welcome WoI to our team.”

WoI chairman of the board Patrick D. Cowden also welcomes the new sports partnership and draws parallels between the two teams: “Formula 1 combines skill, speed and perfection and that virtually mirrors our company philosophy: Smart, fast – done! As Jordan is striving to become a World Champion, World of Internet’s aim is to keep challenging and become a global player. And – to quote Eddie Jordan - we will not forget to have fun along the way!“

The World of Internet.com AG is an internet service agency primarily concentrating on the sports and finance sectors. With its two business units Content & Products and New Media Solutions WoI serves the classic, broadband and mobile Internet markets.
