Held July 25 – 26 at the Atlanta corporate campus of Turner Broadcasting, the event offered an unparalleled opportunity for the emerging companies to present themselves at prearranged and pre-qualified meetings with companies from the U.S., Canada, and Mexico to foster joint venture research and development, investment, content, and marketing alliances. <strong>The</strong> event was hosted by Turner Broadcasting System, Inn., and organized by the American-Israel Chamber of Commerce, Southeast Region (AICC), in partnership with Microsoft. Uri Admon, co-founder and CEO of Tel Aviv-based Dyuna, said, “In less than two days, we met 17 companies, every one worth a trip alone. A key point was that we met the right people, who received information on Dyuna in advance and came prepared for our meetings. We left Atlanta with a number of strong open leads.” Participating North American companies included Turner Broadcasting, Microsoft, Time Warner, AOL, Warner Brothers, HBO, Intel Capital, Time, Inc., Time Warner Investments, Arris, UPS Strategic Enterprise Fund, Veritas Venture Partners, IDG Ventures, Castille Ventures, <strong>The</strong> Weather Channel, Intent Media Works, Cox Enterprises, Ericcson, Pulvermedia, Cablemas, and Comcast Interactive Capital. <strong>The</strong> Israeli and Southeast emerging companies included 5min, Arootz, Asankya, blogTV, Digitalsmiths, Dyuna, Exent, Gumiyo, Hingi, i-Mature, MuseStorm, Oversi, Pando, Playcast, PLYmedia, Radvision, Scopus Video Networks, SimplyGen, SpeedBit, and VBox. In 2006, 27 Israeli and eight Southeast emerging companies participated in the 2nd annual U.S.-Israel Broadband Business Exchange in Atlanta, organized by the AICC in partnership with Cox Communications and CableLabs. In less than 24 hours, the innovative matchmaker event produced more than 600 one-on-one meetings with major U.S. companies, producing business relationships, investments, joint ventures, and the decision of several Israeli firms to establish their U.S. headquarters in Atlanta. AICC invented the Business Exchange economic development model in 1994 and has since organized 13 matchmaker events in Atlanta, Memphis, Nashville, and Huntsville in telecommunications, medical technologies, software, automotive, and aerospace. “Atlanta is a major center for telecommunications and new media entertainment such as gaming, with significant leadership in cable broadband,” said Christopher Klaus, CEO & founder of Kaneva and vice chairman of the Metro Atlanta Chamber of Commerce’s technology marketing council. “With access to world-class research universities, high-tech companies, and a talented workforce, Atlanta is continuing to attract emerging businesses.” NEW MEDIA BUSINESS EXCHANGE.
