Breakfast Meeting With Belgian Treats!

Educational seminars for technology startups in the life science and medical device sectors looking for distribution, strategic alliances, capital and network in Europe, the world's second largest technology marketplace.

Tuesday, September 18, 2007 Dallas/Fort Worth
Wednesday, September 19, 2007 Houston

Belgium is one of the few countries in the world with zero tax on capital gains, hence its success in attracting venture capital from all over the world. Banking on this opportunity, the Wallonia Region of Belgium (the southern French speaking part of Belgium) is becoming THE gateway for technology startups in the European Union.

Recently, the Texas A&M University system Office of Technology Commercialization has selected Wallonia as its collaborator for the co-location of its best groundbreaking technologies on the European continent.

The workshop will explain why innovative US life science and medical device companies should look at Europe in the early stages of their businesses, and why Wallonia is the best base of EU operations for these companies.

A complimentary catered breakfast with Belgian chocolate (the best!) will be provided. Space is limited, so please register ASAP

Founders and investors of seed stage technology companies, VC backed companies in the expansion stage, people involved in universities' commercialization of technologies, venture capitalists and business angels interested in internationalizing their activities, advisors, mentors, service providers, etc.
