Venture leaders 2009
swissnex boston is excited to partner with the venturelab and to organize the 9th edition of the venture leaders (formerly NETS) program. Like every previous edition, the 20 entrepreneurs selected this year will have a full program in Boston from June 9th to 19th. They will visit local high tech companies, receive academic training from Babson College-Professors, interact with experts and most importantly network with local entrepreneurs, investors and other members of the high-tech community. Ernst & Young joins the program as partner this year and will put together an afternoon session as well.
You are invited to join us on Thursday June 18th at swissnex boston - starting at 6:30 pm - to welcome these venture leaders to the Boston area. During this reception, they will pitch their ideas or business plans and will be available for discussion afterwards in one of the 5 "entrepreneurial zones" (Biotech, Hightech, Medtech, Software and Web). Please RSVP if you would like to join this event.
