Overview

The German Tech Tour 2008

For its 28th edition, the Tech Tour visited Germany for the third time and showcased its rich culture of technology and innovation. The German Tech Tour highlighted this enormous potential and depth during its unique two-day tour across the country.

Participation was limited to 70 privately invited international professionals featuring a broad spectrum of senior representatives from VC funds, leading corporations and institutional investors. The German Tech Tour met a double agenda, first to showcase 25 of Germany's most promising technology companies for potential investment or partnership and for you to extend your local network in Germany.

Furthermore, the agenda included interactions and meetings with a range of key figures from various disciplines – venture capital, corporate, entrepreneurs and academia.
