The State of the Robotics Industry in New England

Friday, January 16, 2009; 7:30-9:30 am

Charles Hotel, Cambridge, MA

 

The New England Venture Capital Association has invited leaders from MassTLC's Robotics Cluster to present on the State of the Robotics Industry in New England at their January meeting. As such, attendance beyond NEVCA members is stricly limited and by invitation only.

 

Bill Gates recently commented that he thinks the robotics industry today is similar to that of the computer industry back in the early 80’s, saying “I can envision a future in which robotics devices will become a nearly ubiquitous part of our day-to-day lives.”   This breakfast seminar is an opportunity to discuss industry trends and investment opportunities in the robotics field—providing you with information and contacts that will give you an investing edge. Come spend two intensive hours with your fellow investors and leave with a new understanding of the robotics in our own backyard.
