The 4th Silicon Valley Study Tour Just Concluded!

On Friday, September 5, 2008, we ended our most recent Silicon Valley Study Tour with a full day of meetings at the Italian Consulate of San Francisco. Last Day of Work’s Arthur Humphrey and Carla Humphrey, Zipidy’s Cosimo Spera, Keas’ Vittorio Viarengo and Funambol’s Fabrizio Capobianco concluded our tour with 4 great success stories, providing us with a real, proven school of start-up management!

We started our tour at Stanford University on August 25th, met at UC Berkeley the following day, and then, over the next days, met with key players from the Silicon Valley--HP, Google, Applied Materials, IBM, and CISCO.


The September 4, 2008 SVIEC special event on Clean Tech: Creating Energy with Power at the home of Michele Libraro, CEO of Global Startups, stimulated great interest for all of the fortunate participants from 6 Italian Universities and provided them with an opportunity to meet and exchange ideas with some of the Silicon Valley's technology icons!

Now we're back in Italy, already making preparations for the 2009--5th Edition of the Silicon Valley Study Tour!

About Silicon Valley Study Tour Network

Welcome

In 2005, La Storia nel Futuro, Aizoon and SVIEC (the Silicon Valley Italian Executive Council) teamed up to launch the very first Silicon Valley Study Tour.

Paolo Marenco, President of La Storia nel Futuro and a representative of Aizoon, Italy's first and only officially approved IT staff leasing firm, and Jeff Capaccio, Chair of the highly influential, 400 plus member, SVIEC, created a thoughtful series of seminars, taught by top executives from some of the Silicon Valley's most cutting-edge startups, well established technology giants and prestigious venture capital firms, to expose graduate and graduating engineering and business students, from leading Italian Universities, to the unique entrepreneurial culture of the Silicon Valley.

The results have exceeded Paolo’s and Jeff's expectations, producing multiple internships, doctoral theses and employment opportunities. Most importantly, all of the participants return to Italy with a renewed excitement, new tools, new perspectives and a burning desire to one day succeed as entrepreneurs and technology executives.

In 2009, the Silicon Valley Study Tour organized the fifth edition of this ambitious study tour with 21 participants from 9 Italian universities. Plans exist to dramatically expand the tour in 2010.


Our Goal

The Silicon Valley Study Tour seeks to create and maintain an important bridge between young graduates, researchers, business angels, and "start-uppers" from Italy with the many successful Italian and Italian American high tech, biotech and venture capital executives in the Silicon Valley. SVIEC plays a critical role in fostering this bridge as it remains the only organization to have assembled the top Italian and Italian American high tech, biotech and venture capital executives, all of whom serve as outstanding role models, mentors and potential business partners for Italy's next generation of entrepreneurs and technology executives.

10 things missing from the iPad

The iPad was supposed to change the face of computing, to be a completely new form of digital experience.
But what Steve Jobs showed us yesterday was in fact little more than a giant iPhone. A giant iPhone that doesn't even make calls. Many were expecting cameras, kickstands and some crazy new form of text input. The iPad, though, is better defined by what isn't there.

The Making of An Italian Startup

When Corrado and I first met in Redwood City, during the 2008 Silicon Valley Study Tour we had a burning desire to do something.

But then the story is pretty much always the same. You follow TechCrunch every single day and you read about people making their own web companies, selling them, making millions. Or you go to Silicon Valley and you get excited and you want to do something immediately. And you live every single… Continue

CHEAP SMS SERVICES PROVIDER IN INDIA

We hardly remember when we last took a pen and a paper and wrote a lengthy letter or exam paper or something else. We are limited only to signing the cheque and bill amount slip of the shopping we do. Today our writing has been limited to only signing cheque, bank papers, medical and shopping bill slips. Keypad and keyboard have limited our writing habits and we hardly need a piece of paper and pen to write something. All the writing purposes are fulfilled through the keypad and keyboard at an e… Continue
