OPERA Organic Electronics Entrepreneur Training Day and Venture Forum

Passing this on......

The OPERA Organic Electronics Entrepreneur Training Day and Venture Forum May 18-19 2009 at the Novotel Brussels Centre Tour Noire in Brussels, Belgium. Organised by the EU-funded project OPERA, which aims to strengthen the position of Europe in the field of organic electronics, especially start-ups and SMEs.

Organic Electronics Entrepreneur Training Day
The objective is to enroll a maximum of 10 individuals or small teams with a preliminary business idea that they want to evaluate and develop further. In the morning we will have two real-life business case presentations and a presentation of what is required from a good business plan. In the afternoon the participants will work on their own ideas in small workshop settings. Workshops are facilitated by experienced mentors. The objective of the workshops is to produce a refined, business-plan-like version of each business idea plus a set of concrete action points to continue the process.

Note: Registration is complimentary, there is no participation fee.

Organic Electronics Venture Forum
The OPERA Venture Forum will bring together ventures seeking new capital and private capital firms seeking investment opportunities. The objective is to enroll 15-20 presenting companies to present their business cases in front of 15-20 VCs. Start-ups are encouraged to participate although early stage companies are welcome. Presenting companies can represent any part of OLAE value chain - from materials to commercial applications.

Note: there is no participation fee for presenting companies.
