A gathering of Europe's decision-makers driving technology growth

In just a very short space of time, Europe has emerged as a technology startup power house. The rate of entrepreneurship does not yet equal that in North America on an absolute basis, but entrepreneurship is rapidly growing and perhaps even outstripping the US on a relative basis.

Without question, Guidewire Group analysts have seen more and better small companies coming out of Europe over recent months, than during the previous 10 years combined.

In May 2007, Europe’s innovation luminaries gathered in Zaragoza, Spain for the Third Annual Innovate!Europe Summit. Every year, Innovate!Europe delivers an outstanding opportunity to explore the most promising emerging technology trends, business opportunities, and emerging companies across Europe, in two highly-focused days.

Taking on the Four "C"s

This year, Innovate!Europe tackleed four trends that are shaping the global market. The Four C’s:  Communications; Collaboration; Content; and Commercialisation.  Woven together, these trends connect the ecosystem of European entrepreneurship.

It's the only event on the calendar that brings together Europe’s diverse ecosystem. Entrepreneurs, investors, technology producers, service providers, early adopters, and media come together for two days of intensive debate, discussion, and exploration of business opportunities. Once again, the summit will be the primary meeting place in 2008 for key market influencers and thought leaders driving European technology innovation, commercialisation, and change.

The Conference Program

The main 2007 conference program began on the evening of Tuesday, 8 May and ran through Thursday 10 May, 2007. The 2007 event was packed with keynote speeches, conference debates, and on-stage company presentations from the best upcoming European entrepreneurs.
