Borenius Group participating for the third year in organising ITechLaw Tallinn Conference

Jointly organised by the lawyers’ association ITechLaw and Enterprise Estonia, the highly attended 4th annual conference specialising in the area of international technology will be taking place on 2-3 June 2011, in Tallinn. Borenius Grupp will be participating in organising and supporting the event for the third successive year.

This time, the main theme of the conference is “Addressing the Challenges of Technology Companies in the Expansion Phase”. During the two-day conference, the marketing and financing questions of technology companies will be discussed, guidelines will be given for more successive participation in public procurements, the legal risks of acting in the cloud will be dealt with and forms of cooperation with research and development centres will be more closely tackled. Companies hailing mostly from Estonia, but also from neighbouring countries, will be enlightened by lawyers, investors, and representatives of universities; furthermore, experience will also be shared by companies from the Baltic States and Nordic countries, as well as more distant European countries and the USA, which have already acquired experience in the same sector.

The opening speech will be given by President Toomas Hendrik Ilves. The event will conclude with the contest of business plans of start-up companies, traditionally organised by Arctic Startup (Helsinki), Tehnopol, Connect Estonia and the Estonian Development Fund.
