The section will include presentations and round table sessions devoted to discussing the efficiency of IT investments, functions of investors and consultants. Several company owners and managers will also present “first-hand” stories about securing investments for their own projects and businesses.

The theoretical part will be followed by presentations of projects requesting financing and their discussions in the 1-on-1 format. Over 10 investment funds have been invited to take part in the event.

Representatives of investment companies will be able to discover unusual and promising products and services, while owners or startups and established companies will have a chance to meet their investors or clients. The section provides developers with a great opportunity to present their projects to all of the funds and consultants at the same time, while company owners and managers will appreciate a chance to improve their negotiation skills.

If you would like to discuss a project with representatives of investment companies, you will have to fill out a special form. All forms must be submitted before September 07, 2009.

Please note that registering your project on the ISDEF Web site does not automatically register you as a participant.
