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!

The SiliconValleyStudyTour links Italian graduates, researchers and business angels with Italian executives and startuppers worldwide.
About Silicon Valley Study Tour Network
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 2008, the Silicon Valley Study Tour organized the fourth edition of this ambitious study tour with 27 participants from 6 Italian universities. Plans exist to dramatically expand the tour in 2009.
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.

The Race For The Future Car
With rising temperatures and rising gas prices, cars need to become greener fast. And superficially, the large car manufacturers seem to work hard to improve the fuel efficiency of their products. But are they really? The technology to make cars much more fuel efficient already exists for decades, but it never makes it to the showroom. Why do we have to wait so long for fuel efficient vehicles?

In search of smaller, faster, cheaper memories - Almaden Research Center
In the building where the hard drive was invented there's a team of researchers who are working to build new kinds of memories (that's IBM's Almaden Research Center, place which we visited last summer during ST). Ones that are smaller, faster, cheaper to build, and that use less power. Here I meet with the guy who runs that team, Stewart Parkin, who gives details of what they are working on and the breakthroughs they are finding. A lit… Continue
