Innovation Factory Lunch ‘n Learn – From Rocket Science to Software
Please join iF on Tuesday May 28, 2013 for an informative and free lunch and networking opportunity presented by KPMG, as Ferhan Bulca presents: From Rocket Science to Software: Startup Stories From a Seasoned Intrapreneur.
What is the similarity between developing a commercial laser communications system for a satellite constellation and building a cloud business for an IT company? The Answer: amazing learning opportunities. Ferhan will share what he learned from two multi-year, multi-million dollar, multi-national, multi-cultural and multi-many-things development projects.
Each iF Lunch ‘n Learn also features Factory FiVE: a 5-minute presentation by an iF client to show you what our innovators are up to! This month’s Factory FiVE features Green Pixel.
Join us in our new Innovation Destination after our Lunch ‘n Learn for further discussion and dessert!
