Compagnie des Machines Bull SA and Lithuanian systems company Infostruktura have created NerISena, a joint venture company in Vilnius to bid on projects in the Lithuania 2000 programme. The 10-year Lithuania 2000 programme calls for the computerisation of the country’s administrative infrastructure, including national taxation and transport systems, at a total value estimated at between $2,000m to $3,000m. NerISena is held 50.8% by Infostruktura and 49.2% by Bull and is capitalised at $500,000. Bull says that the investment represents the largest to date yet made in Lithuania by a French firm.
