Notizia pubblicata in rete il 15/08/2007 23.01, tempo medio di lettura previsto 4 minuti e 19 secondi
LONDON, August 16 /PRNewswire/ -- The European Tech Tour Association - English Tech Tour 17-19 October 2007
- Call for 2007 Applications - Deadline 1 September
The European Tech Tour will be coming to England in October to meet the country's most
promising start-ups and early stage technology companies. Applicants registering at
www.techtour.com will compete to become one of the 25 successful finalists invited to present
their business expansion plans to representatives from the global venture capital world. Finalists
will receive advice from these venture capital experts, enjoy numerous networking opportunities
and benefit from local media coverage during the Tech Tour, which takes place 17 - 19 October.
The European Tech Tour Association was established in 1998 with the aim of providing a
dedicated and independent platform for the most promising high tech emerging companies. The
English Tech Tour is the organisation's 27th event. Entries are being sought from companies from
across the technology spectrum, including internet security, 'clean tech', wireless technology,
Web 2.0 applications, medical devices and nanotech.
Keith Arundale, president of the English Tech Tour 2007, said, "We already know England is a
hot-bed of technology innovation as we had more than 200 entrants for the last English Tech Tour
in 2004. This year, the funds that will be present at this exclusive event represent over EUR10
billion worth of capital to invest. Finalists will also have access to invaluable insider expertise and
potential alliance partners. Our role will be to encourage and assist them in scaling their business
in order to enable them to compete on an international level."
Selection criteria for finalists
Finalists are assessed and identified by the committee based on six key points:
1) Uniqueness of the technology
2) Solid business model
3) Vision
4) Capability to execute the business plan
5) Targeting relevant markets
6) Quality of management team and track record.
Benefits for finalists
The 25 finalists will each have a twenty minute slot to present their business plans to sixty senior
partners, vice presidents and CEOs from the global venture capital and technology industry and
receive their advice and feedback. In addition, they will benefit from:
- Extensive networking with the sixty representatives
- Networking with up to 300 professionals from the local technology and venture capital
community
- Local and international media exposure
- Potential opportunities to secure funding
This year's English Tech Tour is presided over by Keith Arundale, university lecturer and
consultant in venture capital and marketing. Previously, Arundale led the venture capital and
business development programmes for PricewaterhouseCoopers' Global Technology Industry
Group in Europe as part of a 28 year career in the organisation. He has also recently published a
book, "Raising Venture Capital Finance in Europe".
