GSA Executive Forum

Last week, IC Resources exhibited at the GSA Executive Forum in Munich. The format this year emphasised panel discussions and a “fireside chat” between Joep van Buerden, the CEO of CSR and Rick Clemmer, the CEO of NXP. Therefore there was plenty of good debate and discussion. The presentation by Henri Seydoux, the founder and CEO of Parrot, was particularly well received and entertaining. Nothing like a UFO-esque tablet-controlled helicopter to intrigue a group of tech execs!

The mood seemed the most buoyant for the last 2-3 years, with the majority of equipment suppliers and service companies feeling optimistic about the 2nd half of 2013.

Oh and Paul Malisse of IMEC won a bottle of very fine (we hope) single malt whiskey in our prize draw…next one at Cambridge Wireless’ International event at the end of the month….
