Dear Colleagues,
We are delighted to invite you to our conference which will focus on the legal tools for funding and structuring export driven technology companies.
The World Economic Forum has designated Israel as one of the leading countries in the world in technological innovation. Israel is a world leader in number of patent filings per capita, has more publicly traded companies in the USA than any other country and is the source of a vast array of groundbreaking disruptive technologies in IT, security, life sciences and medical devices. This is why major multi-nationals such as Microsoft, Berkshire-Hathaway, Motorola, Intel, HP, Siemens, GE, IBM, Philips, Lucent, Cisco and many others have chosen to invest in Israel. Israel's large concentration of talented and innovative people, pioneering technologies, profitable business opportunities, funding and tax incentives and benefits and high investment returns, make it an ideal place for our conference.
The conference will host multinational corporate counsels, leading practitioners from several continents,VC and Private Equity leaders and government officials responsible for successfully developing and implementing tools for funding and structuring export driven technology companies.
We will discuss key legal issues in knowledge based JV's, license transactions, exports controls, trade regulations and Chief Scientist Issues. Special attention will be given to M&A of life science and technology companies, IP and privacy protection, tax incentives and treatment and antitrust approach to such JV's and R&D.
