Innovate!Showcase company, Skinkers, to announce Microsoft deal!

You may be interested by Victoria Shannon’s article that appeared today in the International Herald Tribune, which states enthusiastically that ‘European Technology is in Demand’. Those that attended our recent Innovate!Europe conference will know that this article closely echoes our experience and findings. As Chris Shipley summarised, the last 11 months have shifted focus toward celebrating Europe’s progress to emerge as a technology startup power house. More and better small companies are coming out of Europe than she has seen in the previous 10 years combined.

The 35+ technology showcase companies who took part in I!E06 were testament to the fact that, in many cases, Europe does indeed have a jump start on the USA as regards certain technologies – particularly open source software and peer-to-peer computing.

We’d like to congratulate one of our showcase companies, Skinkers, and CEO Matteo Berlucci, on their deal with Microsoft! You can download their company presentation here.
