Why should I apply?

• For selected companies this is a unique opportunity to present to a large audience of high quality investors, leading technology corporates and service providers like corporate finance firms

• Innovation Exchange 2010 will be covered by leading international and technology press, offering phenomenal opportunities for visibility and recognition

How does it work?

The European Tech Tour has set up a selection committee to ensure the independence of the Innovation Exchange company selection process. It is composed of leading business people, coming from relevant backgrounds and covering various trades, such as venture capital, technology industry, research and the specialised press. The committee will select the best and brightest companies from each stream to present at the Innovation Exchange 2010.

There are no fees associated with participation for the companies selected to present although companies are expected to meet the cost of their own travel and expenses.

Can I still come if I'm not selected?

Only 15 companies will be selected to present at the Innovation Exchange 2010. If your company does not get selected the decision in no way a judgment on the relevance of your business, but is more related to the required balance of stages and industries that will be presented on the occasion of the Innovation Exchange.
