Lina from the Beyond Blond Team says;
Right now we are blogging from a conference business center in San Diego, where the Entrepreneurial Days are taking place. The E-days conference is organized by the Swedish-American Chamber of Commerce and an inauguration VIP-reception (co-hosted by our Consulate) was held in San Diego last night. This morning, at the opening of the E-days conference, the Swedish Ambassador to the US Jonas Hafstrom gave some introductory remarks about the relation between Sweden and the US. (See picture above.)
We also heard an interesting presentation from Andre Heinz, who is the founder of Sustainable Technologies Fund. He had four explanations to why Sweden is a leader within Renewable Energy; the research base, the political support/devotion to address the problems, the high literacy/education and the strong identification with environment/development issues among the population. Another interesting speaker this morning was Doug Pennington from Private Capital Network, who gave the Swedish companies that are present advice on what they should do to become attractive to an angel investor. He also explained the different funding stages of a company and exactly where in that chain an investor would prefer to invest in order to attain the best profit.
There seem to be some interesting business opportunities during E-days for the various Swedish and American companies that are present. They are right now busy conducting matchmaking and business-2-business meetings, but we will get back to you with more updates from the conference as soon as the program continues...
