This Thursday's event is all about innovation, entrepreneurship and opportunity. Please join us for the monthly Swiss American Chamber of Commerce Stammtisch and Club Entreprenuer on Thursday, November 10th at 5:30 pm at swissnex.
Thomas Trenker of The Institute for International Film Financing will discuss how this innovative organization bridges the gap between the worlds of filmmaking and finance, and brings the diverse people together to open new doors for both the seasoned professional and the newcomer. See http://events.filmfinancing.org/?id=071905. IIFF events regularly draw between 50 and 100 people and include film makers, producers, entrepreneurs, technologists, attorneys, bankers, venture capitalists and other non-film professionals.
Attention all interested in Club Entrepeneur! The kick off for the second project is this Thursday following the IIFF presentation. The Board has selected an exciting project owned by Franco Dal Molin, a former Stammtisch presenter. He'll introduce his idea and begin to build his team for the development of the business plan with the help of the Club's mentors and particpants. His project is Collanos, a new software solution for secure, shared, and self-synchronizing workspaces that are ideally suited for cross-company teamwork.
If you've considered participating as a mentor or contributor, this is an important meeting to attend! If you would like to learn more about Club Entrepreneur, please contact Bruno Schurter at bschurter_at_schurterinc.com. If you cannot attend but are interested in being on the team, email Franco at franco.dalmolin_at_collanos.com, or the CE Program Manager, Marc Dangeard (mdangear_at_yahoo.com) or Bruno. If you've never participated before, be sure to include your resume.
The first Club Entrepenuer project was a great experience for everyone. We will hear more about it from the idea owner in February 2006.
