In fact they hardly interact whatsoever. The commonalty of their business problems goes unheeded. The TEB is part of the infrastructure of the region, initiated by OCRI and aimed at ensuring growth and prosperity in the technology sector. It is an extraordinary opportunity for business networking and for the creation of synergistic relationships. TEB sessions are normally held on the last Thursday of the month.
Speakers are mainly local executives who have dealt with such problems.
Speakers and topics for the TEB are chosen by a program committee of senior industry representatives. Since its inception in January 1993, the TEB has enjoyed continuous growth and wide acceptance from the technology business community. The attendance at the first meeting was 60 people. During the 2000-2001 season, registration averaged close to 400 per meeting. The topics are timely and relevant and the networking possibilities are unequalled.
