Innovation Day SF
Thursday, 15th January 2009
The 2009 Innovation Day will move from a one day program in New York to a two day program in Los Angeles and San Francisco. Both events will provide an opportunity to showcase Australia's world class innovation and investment potential to the US.
The San Francisco Innovation Day will feature two separate events - the annual Innovation Shootout Competition followed by an Innovation Luncheon involving a distinguished panel of executives from Australian and US companies delivering commercial technology to the marketplace.
INNOVATION SHOOTOUT
At the third Innovation Shootout, to be held in Silicon Valley, six state finalists from Australia will prove to a panel of expert American judges that their company’s cutting edge innovation has what it takes to make it in the US market.
