The summit is a hotbed for leading senior-level executives to discuss the evolution of the Silicon Valley ecosystem as well as get a glimpse of the next wave of innovation. Attendees will include top-tier venture capitalists, more than 50 of the most well respected executives in the life sciences and clean-tech industries, and distinguished academic faculty. Beyond the invaluable exchange of ideas and high-level networking, ITF-2009 will also enable executives to examine multiple mergers and acquisitions opportunities, which are crucial in this challenging economy. The past four years, for example, have seen unprecedented M&A activity with over $14 trillion in deals, according to CSR Wire. Within this framework, ITF-2009 is a rare event where industry leaders can spend productive time with peers, learn new insights into their markets from the best minds in the industry, and get a direct link to decision makers for potential M&A deals.   Life Science & Cleantech Convergence The ITF Summit 2009 will serve as a venue for senior level executives in Life Science & Cleantech to engage in a focused dialogue with their peers to secure and examine their business objectives in real time. ITF has invited over 50 of the most well respected executives in Life Science and Cleantech industries. The delegation gathers together in Silicon Valley to spend two days with their peers to network and share knowledge while assessing their available options in the marketplace. They will find strategic alliances for resources such as products, distribution channels, manufacturing capability, project funding, capital equipment, technology transfer, and intellectual property as well as target companies for M&A throughout ITF global landscape. Invitations are based on the investments these executives are currently making in the market. Each executive will engage in a series of business meetings, contribute in facilitated roundtable discussions with peers and play an active role in structured and informal break-out sessions and moderated workshops. While there are sponsors in attendance, the program is designed with the end-user in mind. The delegate attendance is comprised of the most well respected executives in the above-mentioned industries, and the meeting format is designed to surpass the traditional exchange of business cards and allow executives to communicate on a personal level whilst ultimately gaining a better understanding of how to address their most common challenges.   Register Today!
