us/israel 2011 venture summitGreat ideas are just that without the capital to get them off the ground. The 5th annual US/Israel Venture Summit provides opportunities for cash-strapped but deserving businesses to take their ideas to the next level.

Soon after Massachussets Governor Deval Patrick completes his cleantech tour of Israel and the UK, Israel’s latest and greatest innovators will have an opportunity to present their savvy to a host of investors seeking dynamic opportunities. Presented by youngStartup Ventures, the 5th annual US/Israel Venture Summit will take place March 29-30th at the Digital Sandbox in New York City.

Cutting edge Israeli companies will be able to network with top tier venture capitalists, angel investors, corporate venture capitalists and investment bankers in one of the most important annual meetings for Israelis interested in lifting their ideas off the ground. The 40 companies chosen to participate will represent the best startups and emergent businesses in the fields of technology, life sciences, and cleantech.

The summit will also feature 35 influential VC speakers and five VC panel discussions. Among the VCs confirmed to speak are WAVE Equity Partners, Canaan partners, Comcast Interactive Capital, and Millennium Technology Ventures. And finally, both emergent CEOs and investors will have the chance to discuss challenges facing either side of the startup fence and enjoy industry exposure in an exclusive, invitation-only setting.

As a tour leader who led “eco-friendly” camping trips throughout North America, Tafline soon realized that she was instead leaving behind a trail of gas fumes, plastic bottles and Pringles. In fact, wherever she traveled – whether it was Viet Nam or South Africa or England – it became clear how inefficiently the mandate to re-think our consumer culture is reaching the general public. Born in Iran, raised in South Africa and the United States, she currently splits her time between Africa and the Middle East. Tafline can be reached at tafline (at) greenprophet (dot) com.

Dan Zaslavsky’s energy tower dream is rising again in Iran and China

0
The Energy Tower idea never made the leap from drawings and engineering studies to full-scale construction. But nearly two decades after most people stopped talking about it, the concept is quietly evolving in two unexpected places: China and Iran.
