The question, posed long ago by famed musician Cab Calloway, is pertinent for both Europe’s Internet companies and their investors. What is the secret to conquering not just your home market but an entire region, and the globe? The theme of the 2013 conference is, “How big can Europe’s Internet companies get?” In online verticals such as adver- tising, travel, commerce and gaming it appears that even the largest of Europe’s Internet companies have not even started to realize their potential. With significant growth possibilities still ahead they could well reach new heights. The advertising market is a prime exam- ple. Worldwide digital advertising spend- ing levels — including online and mobile advertising spending — represented 21.7% of the total spent on ads in all media this year and is set to account for more than one-quarter of all ad spending. That means more than three quarters of the global ad- vertising market is still up for grabs. Online leisure and unmanaged busi- ness travel in Europe was $246 billion in 2012 but only about 42% of the business is currently conducted online, accord- ing to a forecast in the European Online Travel Overview, Eight Edition, by Pho- CusWright, a research company special- izing in global travel. In commerce, too, the biggest oppor- tunities are yet to come. In 2012 more Europeans consumers bought videos/ DVDs, music, event tickets and computer software online than offline.
