Hi all,

For those of you interested to get an overview of the high tech activities
in south of France (Sophia Antipolis etc..), the program below could be of
interest. They used to organize field trip to Silicon Valley but due to the
complication of US entry they decided to do it in France this time.

I hope that in the future a swiss tech tour could be organized since I am
convinced that it would provide an excellent way for those of you interested
to come back to CH. Do not hesitate to express your support to this idea to
Henk !

Best regards,

Laurent Miéville
