Startups & Innovation: The Nordic Bridge to Silicon Valley 

The Bay Area Council Economic Institute and Silicon Vikings invite you to join us for a special forum on the startup and innovation ties linking the Nordic region with San Francisco Bay Area. The program will feature discussion of the findings of three recent studies: a report by the Bay Area Council Economic Institute on Europe’s startup connection with the Bay Area (Innovation Bridge: Technology, Startups and Europe’s Connection to Silicon Valley), a special Institute report on the Nordic region’s startup ties (Nordic Dreams: Innovation, Startups and the Nordic Region’s Connections to Silicon Valley), and a new report from Silicon Vikings Nordic Tech in Silicon Valley.


The findings will be discussed by a distinguished panel of experts and members of the audience.
