You've been reading the headlines: "Facebook buys Instagram." "Tech Patents Soar in Value."
Entrepreneurship is the engine that is driving job creation and economic growth. According to many experts, we are in the midst of a "second bubble" that doesn't show signs of disappearing soon. The global recession has actually produced a climate that is ripe for innovation. We have heard the buzzwords - mobile, social and "Big Data." But what are the categories that will take off for the coming year? Our panel will offer their insights and vision for the year.
Another topic will be about investing in Oregon. Lately, many Silicon Valley venture firms have invested in Oregon startups. What attracted them to these companies? What are they looking for in a company? What are the advantages of an Oregon location, if any? These are some of the questions that will be addressed by the speakers.
