UK Technology, Innovation & Growth Forum 2008


It's Official!

Pingar has been nominated by the UK Trade & Investment Global Entrepreneur Programme to present next month at the UK Technology, Innovation & Growth Forum 2008 in the Company Showcase section.

I received the email overnight from London. This represents a major milestone in Pingar's UK market entry strategy. What makes it especially significant is that only four global companies were selected to present in the Company Showcase section.

So it is off to my trusted travel agent once again and time to dust down the tuxedo. I will be traveling to London to take part in the Forum and will use the opportunity to follow up face-to-face, many of the opportunities that the Pingar team identified only a few weeks ago.

Taking part in the Forum will enable Pingar to engage directly with the leading technology, analyst and investor communities in the UK. To have been invited by UK T&I GEP to participate is great not just for Pingar, but a reflection on the role that NZ ICT companies can play on the global stage. It might mean building up the air miles, but it proves that global engagement is possible despite our location.
