Absilion to represent Sweden in Silicon Valley
Luleå, Sweden – Oct 25, 2011 – Absilion today announced that the company is selected as one of the Swedish representatives to participate during a weeklong program called “Innovative Sweden” taking place in Silicon Valley. The selected companies are all successful and expanding start-up companies who will meet experienced entrepreneurs, international industry representatives and venture capitalist firms.

Amazingly many great ideas come from Swedish inventors, such as the three point seat belt, the pacemaker and color graphics technology, as well as music streaming service Spotify.
It is now time for a new generation of innovations from Sweden to be discovered by an international audience. During Nov 2-9, the Swedish Institute will host an initiative called “Innovative Sweden” at Stanford University. As one of the selected companies, Absilion is participating at a pitching session where start-up companies will meet experienced entrepreneurs, international industry representatives and venture capitalist firms.
