Sukhi Bhadal, CEO of AngelTech reflects on the April 2024 event.

The inaugural AngelTech Executive Strategy Summit was held on April 15th, 2024, at the Sheraton Airport Hotel in Brussels, marking a significant milestone in our commitment to advancing the compound semiconductor, power electronics, and photonic integrated circuits (PICs) sectors. This exclusive one-day conference provided an invaluable platform for industry professionals to gain insights into the latest economic trends, market drivers, and funding opportunities that will shape the future of these dynamic fields. As the CEO of AngelTech, I am thrilled to share the success and key takeaways from this transformative event.

The Summit featured a series of thought-provoking presentations and engaging panel discussions led by renowned analysts, venture capitalists, and funding experts. The event's agenda was meticulously crafted to address the pressing issues and emerging trends within our industries. Key topics included disruptive technologies, market forecasts, and strategic funding approaches, all aimed at equipping attendees with the knowledge needed to navigate the complex landscape of compound semiconductors, power electronics, and PICs. The insights provided during these sessions were not only enlightening but also actionable, enabling participants to drive their businesses forward with confidence.

One of the highlights of the AngelTech Executive Strategy Summit was the exclusive and intimate networking environment it fostered. With attendance capped at 100 delegates, the Summit ensured meaningful interactions and collaborations among industry leaders and experts. The limited capacity allowed for in-depth discussions and the exchange of ideas, creating a fertile ground for future partnerships and innovations. The enthusiasm and engagement of the attendees underscored the importance of such focused gatherings in driving industry growth and development.

The Summit also delved into the critical aspects of funding opportunities within our sectors. Government grants, venture capital investments, and private funding avenues were explored in depth, providing attendees with a comprehensive understanding of how to secure financial support for their ventures. Sessions on intellectual property, patents, and mergers and acquisitions further enriched the dialogue, highlighting the strategic moves necessary to protect innovations and expand market presence. The emphasis on these areas underscored the holistic approach required to thrive in the rapidly evolving landscape of compound semiconductors, power electronics, and PICs.

In conclusion, the AngelTech Executive Strategy Summit 2024 was a resounding success, setting a high standard for future events. The wealth of knowledge shared, coupled with the unparalleled networking opportunities, made it an unmissable event for executives looking to gain a competitive edge. As we look ahead, I encourage all stakeholders in the compound semiconductor, power electronics, and PICs industries to join us at future AngelTech events. Together, we can continue to drive innovation, secure funding, and navigate the complexities of our ever-evolving market landscape. Thank you to all who participated and contributed to the success of this inaugural Summit.
