Charles Van Costenobel, Eurecan – Corporacción CAN Capital Semilla / Negocios Emergentes , comments “the Eurecan European  Venture Contest proves that good technologies will always emerge and succeed, regardless of market conditions. It does not have to be a new blockbuster drug or the next Skype to find investment and development partners. The applications to the EEVC are examples of everyday processes such as the diagnosis of disease or the generation of energy – we continue to need  them and anything that improves their delivery will succeed.”

William Stevens, CEO of Europe Unlimited commented “The Eurecan European venture Contest is a true celebration of high tech entrepreneurs in Europe.  All presenting companies at the Summit have earned their place through impressing investors across Europe and this brings together a critical mass of the most talented emerging businesses”
