ABOUT ESTC2010

The 4th European Semantic Technology Conference - ESTC2010 - will be
organized in Vienna, Austria for the fourth time in a row.
The aim of the conference is to bring together the world's leading thinkers,
innovators, developers, engineers, and senior practitioners responsible for
information technology to learn about how to integrate this advanced
technology into their current systems.
The ESTC2010 program will consist of several interesting workshops, keynotes
by prominent international experts, round tables and the innovation seed
camp.


==========	
ESTC AWS INNOVATION SEED CAMP

After the successful initiation of the Innovation Seed Camp last year (based
on the previous ESTC business idea competitions), ESTC2010 will continue
this tradition, offering those with innovative business ideas involving the
use of semantics or Internet technology the chance to reach out to the
exploitation network of experts and investors.
The innovation seed camp will be organized as a full day workshop, starting
with elevator pitches of the best submitted ideas, continuing with private
expert mentoring sessions for participants with investors and VCs, and
conclude with an investors forum.
