1. ALL ABOUT INNOVATIVE AND SUCCESSFUL BUSINESS


The first conference day will be all about innovative business ideas,
starting with Victor Henning, the CEO of the successful company Mendeley,
recounting his experience about how to get started and make a hit with an
original business concept. Following the keynote, selected startup companies
will present their ideas to a panel of experts and venture capitalists at
the aws ESTC Innovation Seed Camp. In the afternoon, an expert panel will
discuss the relationship between startups and VCs. The second panel,
organized by StartEurope, will talk about the importance of
interdisciplinary teams in startup companies. Three workshops will
complement the program: the ACTIVE Showcase workshop will present the
developed possibilities on increasing organizational productivity, the LOD2
workshop will cover business scenarios with Linked Enterprise Data and the
SOA4All workshop will explain the SOA4All technology and highlight its
application in the three SOA4All use case industry sectors. 

Peter Mika from Yahoo! Research will open the second conference day,
focusing his talk on semantic technologies for search and online media. The
day will continue with invited talks by representatives from Salzburg
Research, Innovatia and FTW. Two expert panels, with representatives from
Verizon Communications Incorporation, Ontos AG, Atos Origin and Ontotext,
will discuss two increasingly important topics: Future Internet and Linked
Open Data. A reception with wine and finger food will conclude this year's
ESTC, offering a relaxed closing atmosphere.
