Gold Sponsors of CAL-IT

Simentra recently announced their Gold Sponsorship of the prestigious CAL IT annual event, held in Lonodon, 21st-22nd October 2002 .

Cal-IT is Europe's opportunity to meet the very best of California's new technology start-ups. Organised by the State of California's Technology, Trade and Commerce Agency (CTTCA), Cal-IT introduces the most promising young technology companies to the European market each year.

Over the last six years Cal-IT has proved to be an unbeatable event - previous presenters include Clarent, Inktomi, eGain, PacketVideo, Portal Software, LoudCloud and Vicinity. The event is renowned for presenting the very best new technology companies at the point in their development when investment and partnering can have the most impact.

Cal-IT is distinguished from other events by its rigorous filtering process. The Technology Advisory Board (TAB), made up of leading European companies, assesses the strength of all applications from California technology start-ups, ensuring that only those with the strongest potential are invited to present at the Forum.

Private meetings between delegates and presenting companies are scheduled by the CTTCA - over 370 such meetings were pre-scheduled in 2001. The result of these meetings has been far in excess of $350 million in deal flow over the 6 years of the Forum.

Cal-IT is an excellent opportunity to expand the Simentra partner and client network with the most influential people in the European technology and financial communities and investigate the sharpest new technologies being developed throughout California.
