Abstract
We compute the amount of inflation required to solve the horizon problem of cosmology in the pre-big-bang scenario. First we give a quick overview of string cosmology as developed by Veneziano and collaborators. Then we show that the amount of inflation in this background solves the horizon problem. We discuss fine-tuning.
