We recently covered IBM’s Global Technology Unit (GTU), the people in charge of collaborations between IBM and Israeli start-ups interested in operating in the global marketplace.
This week (Nov. 2-5), GTU will hold a series of specialized industries week at their IBM headquarters in Kiryat Arye, Petach Tikva. The even will comprise of several daily events, each focusing on a different industry.
One day will focus on Telco, a second on the banking industry with a third in energy solutions. At the event, the global IBM will present its “road map” for the three afore-mentioned sectors, and IBM world leaders in the field will lay out the business framework and IBM’s work model with a start-up working on a solution for each of these specific industries. GTU personnel have told StartUpMania that they are very interested in hosting Israeli start-ups who’s products mesh with the different plans.
The next three days will see Drew Clark, Global IBM’s director of venture capital, Chae An, the man behind IBM US’s financial branch, and Rick Qualman – manager of IBM’s strategy and business development for telco solutions for the big-blue giant. These three are a group you’d be very interested in meeting if your start-up happens to deal with banking, telco or energy.
This is the website detailing the event, with a complete agenda and information for those who wish to sign up.
