Europe’s New Standard for Entrepreneurship: Niklas Zennström, CEO & Co-founder, Skype to Keynote at Innovate!Europe 2006

The September 2005 announcement that Skype was to be acquired by eBay for US$2.6billion set the global technology markets buzzing, and made Skype CEO & Co-founder Niklas Zennström an entrepreneurial hero. What so many viewed as an exit, however, is only a new beginning for Skype, and it is that new beginning and the challenges ahead that Zennström will address when he keynotes Innovate!Europe in May.

He will talk about his ambitious plans for Skype as a platform provider, and you’ll have the opportunity to ask questions during a moderated on-stage interview. It’s so easy to lose sight of the future among the skyrocketing success in the present. Skype’s acquisition by eBay has inspired a generation and will forever change attitudes about European entrepreneurship. But the Skype Story is just getting started.

Join us in Zaragoza in May to hear what’s coming and take part in the debate!
