The Meeting

Gesventure Meetings are realized since 1999, year when Gesventure has started

it’s activity as Venture Capital catalyst. This meeting, as well as the previous ones,

has the purpose to get together entrepreneurs and investors, promoting dialogue,

networking and showing everyone the actual market trends.

2005This year’s focus goes to Biotechnology, a clearly growing sector in

Portugal, with a big potential interest to the Venture Capital industry.

Some projects have already attracted capital in the biotech innovative

area but still many scientific knowledge is locked inside universities

and student’s heads, away from profitable Business Plans.



Activities

Gesventure Meetings have an impact that goes further the conferences.

With the unquestionable relevance of having national and international

speakers in our sessions, we have developed the following activities:

� Conferences (national and international speakers)

� Elevator Pitch (public presentation of investment projects)

� Private Sessions (private presentation of investment projects to Venture

Capital companies)

� Venture Capital and Entrepreneurship University Contest winners

announcement

� Workshops (discussion groups oriented by some of the speakers)

� Networking Break with foreign Business Angels (extended break

dedicated to the establishment of new contacts)6th Gesventure Meeting billboard

Hubert RampersadFounder and CEO of Total Performance Scorecard (The Netherlands)

Hubert Rampersad returns to Portugal to talk us about his most recentbook "Personal Balanced Scorecard" applied to companies of high grouthpotential. Hubert is specially atracted by venture capital as he considersthat recent created companies, developing fast and complex structures, have a good opportunity to apply Balanced Scorecard since thebeggining, instead of developing it later when the companie is alreadyrunning with all its habits.

During his stay in Portugal, this specialist will realize two seminars, one inOPorto and another in Lisbon, dedicated toBalanced Scorecard.
