Last week on October 9th I took part in a roundtable discussion panel on Alternative Financing at the Invest in Photonics event in Bordeaux, France. The event is the primary European conference looking at investment across the photonics industry including applications in environment and energy efficiency, life sciences, consumer electronics, aerospace and transport, 3D printing and advanced manufacturing. I was joined by a sector-specialist serial entrepreneur and angel investor, a partner at a VC firm, B-to-V, with a focus on photonics, and a director of the French growth-stage SME stock exchange, Alternativa.
At the invitation of the State Department of the United States of America, Crowd Valley presented and advised institutional investors in Washington DC on efficient capital allocation and how crowd investing is changing the landscape with funds and institutions. Silicon Valley Crowdfund Ventures hosted the second crowdfunding gathering in Palo Alto, California, April 3 & 4. Crowd Valley was present with chairman Jouko Ahvenainen on two panels at the event. Crowd Valley was a guest speaker at a seminar run by law firm K&L Gates entitled 'Crowdfunding: Commercial and Regulatory Developments' in the heart of the financial district of the City of London on March 4th. K&L Gates represents leading global corporations, growth and middle-market companies, capital markets participants and entrepreneurs in every major industry group, and it runs regular educational events on topics relating to new financial regulations. |
