Just a few words of Congratulations! This tour proved again that the original idea of Sven was, and is really great. Thanks Sven for making it happen. The implementation of the Swiss TT was really very well done. Thanks Jan and Simone and to all the Team for making the organization so smooth and the program so interesting.

- Daniel Borel, Chairman, Logitech International, Switzerland

Congratulations for a fantastic event. It was the best networking event with start-up companies and especially with other early stage investors I have attended for a long long time. The format of constant movement and breaks generating natural opportunities to network with colleagues and entrepreneurs proved to be highly efficient and successful. From a sponsor perspective we are very excited to have had the chance to sponsor the event. Please extend also our congratulations to the whole team.

The Swiss Tech Tour was very professionally organized and highly enjoyable. I appreciated the cross-section of high tech start-ups and their dedicated presentations. While the quality of the ideas was most encouraging, it appeared that the entrepreneurs still will need to be imported in many cases. As a technical person, I particularly valued the discussions with the many Venture Capitalists - and vice versa, obviously.

- Walter Steinlin, CFO, Swisscom, Switzerland

The Swiss TT has been an exceptional opportunity to interact with Swiss technology leaders and get exposed to exciting ideas in semiconductors and enterprise software, at an interesting inflection point in time where the business stage is set for an international commercialisation breakthrough of cutting-edge Swiss technology.

The Tech tour provides investors like ourselves with a wonderful means to gain both exposure to investment opportunities in a structured and efficient format, as well as interact with other investors in a focused but fun setting.

An exceptionally efficient use of valuable VC Partner time. How else could I get to see 29 of the best companies in Switzerland in just two days.

- Nigel Grierson, Managing Director, Doughty Hanson, UK

The Tech Tour provided a highly focused and efficient platform to informally exchange ideas and concepts, meet the right people and create a reasonable degree of awareness.

- Andreas Hurlimann, Director, Arthur D. Little, Switzerland

These were very busy days! It was a mix between the pleasure of meeting colleagues, getting an update on many start-ups we knew already, and discovering great new projects. We will not miss next ones!

In 1998 I presented Xemics at the first Swiss tech tour, and that helped us a lot in closing our first venture capital round a year later. This year
