I was on that same EI trip back in '99. Really excellent - I still recall some of the site visits, and the lectures, from that week. All in favour of a group tour, especially if we could get some Stanford tie-in and/or start-up networking tie-in over there.

Conor, give me a ring. I would be happy to discuss how EI could help get involved in putting this together with you.

This is a great idea.

Based on what the Israeli group itinerary - it would be great if we could do something similar - surely the Irish "valley" ex-pat community would also get involved.

Great idea Jeremy about making links. I know several French guys based here building interesting tech. We'll watch your blog for news on your planning.

Later in the year is definitely the plan as a lot of people it might suit are doing launches in the next few months and will neither have the time nor the money. Early Autumn in the Valley is delightful :-)

Hey guys,

Well I'm glad our initiative inspired you as well. We should definitely, after Silicon Valley of course, think of building a bridge between Ireland and France as well (cross visits?): a load of things has been happening in our respective mother lands recently. Knowing each other better can only help high tech start ups develop their business in the European Union more and better.

Good luck in organizing the trip and take care!

Jeremy

I think that's a really good idea. I'd definitely be up for it (if my bank balance allows if / when the time comes). Would be great to go near the start of Autumn.

Sounds great Dan. I think we should be able to rustle up a good contingent before the end of the year.

I think this is a great idea!

I myself have some contacts in the Valley... and would be happy to help organize this event.
