UCLB Investor Breakfasts 2008
Technology for Breakfast
Be the first to hear about technology investment opportunities, meet the inventors and have a croissant and coffee with the tech transfer team, all before 9am.
UCL Business PLC will be holding a series of investor briefings on last Tuesdays throughout 2008 to highlight the significant commercialisation opportunities currently being developed at UCL.
Lasting just one hour, from 8 to 9am, each event will showcase a number of opportunities focused around a core theme. Taking place on the last Tuesday of the month, they’ll be hard to miss. And on top of first-hand access to these opportunities, you’ll leave with all of the morning’s presentations loaded on to a USB memory stick, for you to review later or share with colleagues.
The format will be busy but informative, packing up to ten 5 minute elevator pitches within the hour. But don't worry - to avoid indigestion, we’ll pare the information down to exactly the facts you as an investor need to know.
