The dmexco 2010 Brings Companies of the Digital Industry Together with Investors

COLOGNE, Germany--(BUSINESS WIRE)--A good idea is priceless. This applies often enough for its realisation too, especially if companies of the digital industry are lacking the necessary capital. Solid financing is then called for – thus searching for an investor becomes one of the most urgent tasks. The dmexco 2010 provides the best prerequisites in such cases: The world’s leading branch meeting place offers an ideal platform in the shape of the “dmexco Corporate Finance Partner Entrepreneurs & Investors Get-Together”, bringing companies from the digital industry together with investors. Together with the M&A consulting firm, Corporate Finance Partners, the dmexco is giving investors and companies the opportunity to exchange new ideas and visions in a relaxed atmosphere after the first day of the exposition, while at the same time establishing important contacts for the successful financing of innovative projects.

“With the aid of an experienced investor turning a company into a market leader is made easier. As a consulting firm specialising on mergers and acquisitions in the TIME markets our everyday business dealings underline this fact”

“Good ideas and the corresponding market potential are often readily available in our branch, unfortunately the necessary capital to realise the idea is often lacking. Venture capital thus particularly plays a central role in the digital industry sector, Frank Schneider, dmexco’s Director Marketing Sales & Operations commented. “As the leading international event for the entire digital value chain it is our obligation to support new, innovative projects. At our event intellectual and financial capital meets up in a high concentration.”

“With the aid of an experienced investor turning a company into a market leader is made easier. As a consulting firm specialising on mergers and acquisitions in the TIME markets our everyday business dealings underline this fact,” commented Julian Riedlbauer, Managing Director, Corporate Finance Partners CFP Beratungs-GmbH. “So, we are all the more delighted to be able to support the dmexco in bringing together innovative companies from the digital industry with potential investors in this special way. After all, good ideas for the digital value chain shouldn’t just be convincing on paper.”
