What is going on in the world of IT investments; how investors can return their money; how to build a successful IT business; who invest and where to find money for IT projects; investmet climate in Russia, Europe and USA; trans-European cooperation in IT and business - here are some of the questions we will discuss at the Forum. A section with brief investment project presentations to potential investors will be organized at the Forum's second day.
The Forum atmosphere is different from traditional conferences. We want to minimize formal presentations. The invited speakers, leading world and Russian experts in IT and investments, will express their viewpoints on the proposed issues and then will answer your questions and join the discussion. Our goal is to give you an opportunity to express your own opinion, learn new ideas from others, present your own ideas, raise questions and discuss problems.
