#WATCH | Toronto, Canada: Avinash Persaud, Vice President of the Hardware Catalyst Initiative and Semiconductor Initiatives at ventureLAB, says, "We support hardware technology companies and because the Canadian market is relatively small, compared to the global opportunities, we have a global outreach, diversification of our engagements is critically important and India is a tremendous market for a lot of the companies that we support - both bilaterally companies looking to do business with Canada and companies looking to do business in India. So, we are looking forward to closer relationships, especially through events like the one we are having today."

Представници компанија из Србије, који су у Канаду допутовали првим летом на директној линији „Ер Србије“ Београд-Торонто, посетили су данас компанију „Бомбардје“(Bombardier), једног од најпознатијих светских произвоћачa пословних авиона, и „Венчр леб“ (VentureLAB), једног од водећих канадских центара за подршку стартаповима у ИТ индустрији. Током посете, канадским саговорницима предочени су капацитети и производне палете српских компанија и истражене могућности пословне сарадње, како у области авиоиндустрије, тако и у области информационих технологија. Презентацијама и састанцима присуствовали су и представници Амбасаде Републике Србије у Канади, Генералног конзулата Републике Србије у Торонту и Привредне коморе Србије.

Ich habe keine einzige Jambaseite mit Dialern gefunden, aber diese Brüder, wo man nie sicher sagen konnte, ob man sie als verwandtschaftliche Verbindung oder als kriminelle Bande verstehen musste, sind natürlich fett drin gewesen im Netzwerk... Sie haben z.B. Handypayment eingeführt mit einem Typen, der über sein Netzwerk zwischen Singapur und Consett bis heute Thema im Prozess in Stadelheim ist. Und da war ja auch der Jochen Hochrein, Christian Angermeier, Helmut Thoma und was da noch so alles rumfuhrgewerkt hat. Ach, den Freiherren Gravenreuth alias "Tanja" und seine Bagage um den sündigen Syndikus und was da noch so herumgekrochen ist in Schwabing, nicht zu vergessen den irren KIm Schmitz und seinen Anwalt Pfister, die Günther... stundenlang könnte ich erzählen... Samwer war ein persönlicher Freund des CFO Burkhard Ley von Wirecard und Samwers Finanzchef in Asien ist kein geringerer als ausgerechnt Edo Kurniawan gewesen. Aber das sind alles Zufälle. --- Erinnerungsstück eNewsARCHIV 2000-04-03 eBay.de fliegt in die zweite Geburtstagswoche - noch bis 10. April Freunde gewinnen! / eBay verschenkt Jet-Luxus für "Freunde-Macher" Berlin (ots) - Im Business-Jet der Luxusklasse bei Kaviar und Champagner über den Wolken schweben - eBay macht´s möglich, ohne dass man auch nur einen Pfennig dafür bezahlt.
