As a result from the Entrepreneurial Days, Eriksen Translations was able to pick up somewhere around 20 business leads. Of these at least 5 are strong leads.

"Thanks for making it possible for me to attend at the Entrepreneurial Days in Uppsala" It is very easy for me to be enthusiastic regarding the event. Here are some pertinent facts.

This year's SACC event in Uppsala, Sweden exceeded my expectations in every metric. The number and quality of participants was far beyond anything that I had anticipated. All totaled, I met with 18 companies at your event, either through direct one-on-one appointmentsQ, or through meetings held after your very impressive High Tech Tour.

"The 2006 Edays in Lidkoping will be my third year in attendance in a row. Every year has created new business contacts (in some cases, friends) and my business projections based on pre-contacts made to date is that this year will be no different. These meetings bring many new people, new ideas or concepts, and new business opportunities to consider.

As you may or may not know, I have close to 30 years of business experience, with a majority of those years in the USA. Those years include levels of business on both a large and small business scale. I could not even begin to tell you the amount of trade shows or conferences I have attended. It is a lot. There are several aspects of the Entrepreneurial Days program that make it unique and more effective than "traditional" conferences. An example of this uniqueness is the Business Matchmaking sessions. The ability to specifically pre-register, really contact and pre-qualify, meetings with potential clients or partners is an aspect usually not seen in many US conference formats. This really has a time effective characteristic streamlining the business possibility process.

The initial concept of our firm, www.3gLogix.com, was to create a "bridge across the water" for proprietary, leading edge wireless technologies between Sweden and the USA. You and your constituents have been so diligent and consistent with program development that this past year our firm has had to re-evaluate our position due to the tremendous inquiry level we have been receiving in many areas. We now project an equal growth platform in the "non-wireless" business area using our sister company, www.aprilsystem.com. These pushes most likely will double our business size in the relatively short time of less than three years with projections for a more global market growth picture spanning to and from Sweden. This does not even count the people we haven't met at this year's meeting! "
