Silicon Valley Meets the EU's Fortune 500 at the California Tech Showcase 2007



    The California Tech Showcase 2007 (CTS 2007 -
    www.CaliforniaTechShowcase.com) will be held at the Hotel Hermitage in
    La Baule, France on June 28th and 29th this year. The conference is
    being hosted by EuroStart, a new Silicon Valley-based venture fund.
    CTS 2007 sponsors include EuroStart Capital Partners, Business Wire,
    Rumeur Publique, EuroNext Stock Exchange, the State of California,
    Pierre Audoin Consultants, and Fenwick & West.

    This high-profile event will allow the most promising U.S.-based
    private high-technology and green technology companies to meet CEOs,
    CIOs, and CTOs from 250 of Europe's largest banks, media companies,
    manufacturers, retailers such as Siemens, Societe Generale, T-Mobile,
    EDF, British Telecom, SAP, ST Microelectronics and many more. The 40
    selected companies are guaranteed a minimum of five one-on-one
    meetings with CxOs of the European attendees of their choice. CTS 2007
    will be the catalyst for immediate revenue ramp-up in Europe for these
    companies.

    Sourcing innovative technologies has become critical for large
    enterprises and their ability to address new markets. California alone
    consistently pulls more than twice the venture capital investment of
    the entire EU.

    "At CTS 2007, the European attendees will get direct access to the
    best and brightest companies from California. We've have reviewed over
    800 company profiles and selected with diligence the candidate showing
    all together, a disruptive technology, coherent European strategy and
    solid economics," said Jean-Bernard Guerree, a Managing Director at
    EuroStart.

    The California companies are ripe for EU partnerships and
    committed to dedicated proper resources to fuel their European
    expansion.

    CTS 2007 will take place in conjunction with the World Investment
    Conference (WIC 2007- http://www.LaBauleWIC.org/). WIC 2007 will
    feature hundreds of CEOs from firms such as GE, Siemens, Fiat and
    Veolia, as well as government officials and ministers. WIC 2007's
    theme is green technology. There will be global press coverage of the
    two conferences. Press covering the conferences includes the Wall
    Street Journal, International Herald Tribune, CNBC, EuroNews, BBC,
    BSkyB, CNN, and others.
