The Danish Tech Tour 03

The Danish Tech Tour took place August 27-29, 2003.

This 2 day event provided the most innovative and upcoming technology companies in Denmark with a unique opportunity to meet and network with a selective group of 60 senior professionals from leading blue-chip technology corporations, venture capitalists, advisors, investment banks, and corporate advisors.

ETT has already helped boost the international expansion and proven to be instrumental to a number of companies in 12 previously held tech tours in the following countries: Switzerland, Ireland, Sweden, Germany, Finland, Spain, France, Scotland, Holland, Norway, Switzerland for a 2nd time most recently, and Italy.

Objectives

To identify the upcoming and leading top 20+ high-growth privately held technology companies in Denmark and to introduce them to key European, US and Asian investors and professionals who can assist in their global expansion.

For delegates, the Tech Tour is a unique platform to gain first-hand knowledge of a selection of Denmark's most advanced high-technology companies.

We invited young, innovative and ambitious Danish companies looking to expand globally to take advantage of the presence of industry leaders and investors.

For presenting companies, the Tech Tour presented a unique platform to introduce their companies to a group of 60 high level professionals.
