As of today, Friday will be Tiburon-TV’s Event Day: In our new weekly series „events2go“ we’ll be presenting the most exciting events. To get the ball rolling, we’ll portray SIME - Northern Europe’s largest conference about the Internet and digital opportunities. SIME started in 1996 and brings together top executives, marketing professionals, aficionados and members of the press. Here's a selection of Viktoria's interviews from SIME08:
Eran Davidson - Managing Partner and CEO of Hasso Plattner Ventures – was one of the attendees of SIME08: „When we identify a great entrepreneur, we will back him up in almost anything he wants to do“ promises Eran. The only requirement: One should be able to pitch Eran within three minutes.
Another investor and serial entrepreneur who attended SIME08 is Axel Schmiegelow: The CEO of sevenload and denkwerk Group primarily invests in companies that are out of their seed stage. Axel is also an active Board member of travel commerce company itravel.
As a participant of SIME you can also meet Global Leadership Fellows of the World Economic Forum like Rodolfo Lara Torres. Rudolfo is now heading the weforum’s Technology Pioneers Programme that announces each year visionary companies as Tech Pioneers and innovators of the highest calibre.
Take advantage of this unique setting of networking and attend SIME in 2009: Helsinki - September 30; Copenhagen - October 8. Both in Helsinki and in Copenhagen, SIME will focus on winning strategies for turning the current crisis into opportunities. Stockholm - November 11 – 12; Barcelona - May 21; Beijing - By invitation only - for more information contact Felicio de Costa (felicio@sime.nu)
