The goals of the event will continue to be to strengthen relationships, learn more about new technologies, hear from experts in the business and meet up-and-coming companies looking for investors. We are in the process of preparing the event and we will keep you informed as to the specifics of the agenda and the confirmed speakers.
The European Energy Venture Fair 2008 was an enormous success and our largest networking conference yet with over 140 venture capital investment professionals from more than 80 funds participating. Presentations and pictures from the event are available for members to download.
