Lina from the Beyond Blond Team says;
Half of the Beyond Blond Team is still in San Diego today, where we are reporting live from the matchmaking activities at the SACC (Swedish American Chamber of Commerce) Entrepreneurial Days. The various clusters of E-days are focused on sustainable energy, life sciences, IT, the entertainment industry and venture capital. There seem to be about 80-90 companies present and many high-level participants. At the dinner last night Harvey White, co-founder of Qualcomm, gave a speech on his experience and lessons learned from being an entrepreneur in California. As you might know, he is also the founder of Leap Wireless.
Some of us are heading back to LA this afternoon. It is a 3-5 hour drive between San Diego and Los Angeles, depending on traffic, and we hope to make it in time to also attend the SACC European Super Business Mixer that starts in LA at 6 pm. The entertainment companies of E-days have been invited to participate as part of their E-days program in LA, (organized by SACC with the support of Tomas Jegeus, vice president of Fox International). As part of their program we will host a reception tomorrow night with focus on film industry. Also location scouting will be discussed, since many of the Swedish film commissioners are in California this week.
We will get back to you with more information on the many interesting speeches we have heard in San Diego in a later post, while you enjoy the pictures below from this weekend's Bergman screenings in Los Angeles.
We appreciate that some of you have started commenting. Always nice for us to know that someone has found our blog... Thank you!
