Venture Capital Session Speakers

Technology commercialization is seldom a direct linear path. On the one hand, inherent to the metabolism of this activity is funding, be it forms of venture capital, self-funding, or by customers and/or licensees. Meanwhile, prevailing business environments and market profiles naturally intervene in charting an enterprise's directions. Through its two Segments, the International CEWIT Conference Venture Capital Breakout session aims to provide information valuable to anyone managing this process.

Venture Capital Trends Session

Segment 1 is the international Venture Capital Trends Panel. This distinguished Panel is composed of lead investors (alphabetically) from India, Israel, the UK, and USA. Discussion will focus on what is influencing the flow of venture capital now as to its directions and relative quantities. CEWIT Conference attendees will be invited to submit their questions.
