swissnex boston is excited to partner with the venturelab and to organize the 8th 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 10 to 20th. They will visit local high tech companies, attend a course at Babson College, 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 19th at swissnex boston (temp location at Cambridge Innovation Center) - starting at 6:30pm - 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.
