December 11 K4 Meeting in Barcelona

By invitation only, the Keiretsu Forum Barcelona meets the afternoon of December 11, 2007 at the Barcelona Stock Exchange (Bolsa de Barcelona). For more information about the meeting, please contact Chapter President Xavier Casares at xcasares@keiretsuforum.com.

Here is the summary of six very exciting new companies that will present at the December 11 meeting:

Company 1.- A free monthly magazine for immigrants that combines the interests and concerns of the Latin, Arabian and European communities. This company has great market penetration and audited circulation numbers, and is already recognized by major media agencies and the advertisers that want to reach immigrant audiences.

Company 2.- Develops and manufactures medical equipment in the respiratory area. In the medical sector there is a general consensus that spirometry is essential for the detection and control of diseases, but the current spirometry has several major drawbacks that makes mass distribution difficult. The company has a novel product that allows interpretation of test results to be easy and safe. All rights are protected.

Company 3.- The company operates and is part of the composites industry (a composite is a carbon fiber and resin material). Until now, composites materials have been used for industries where technological requirements are very high (for example: aviation industry, aerospace). The company wants to move into other land based sectors -- Nautical, rail, construction, etc. -- where there are fewer companies that develop and produce components based on the carbon fiber technology.

Company 4 .- The company has developed a vertical Internet search model specialized for the German and Spanish real estate markets. The size of the market for on-line search in the four major European markets (United Kingdom, France, Germany and Spain) is growing very quickly as is the volume of its advertising contracts.

Company 5.- This software enterprise has more than 10 years of experience in digital communications, focused on content management and its distribution in digital channels such as Digital Earth Television and TvInternet, consolidated products on the market and customers that are leading the industry, such us CCRTV , Tele5, TVE, Grupo Planeta, Vocento and others. The company collaborates with Abertis, Telefonica, etc.. and partnerships with ATOS Origin, T-Systems, Iecisa, Adobe, etc.. The company already has 14 employees.

Company 6.- This company is dedicated to the manufacture of tools that optimize the energy of semiconductor chips. Their business objective is to reduce energy needs by about 50%, particularly in cell telephony where there is a clear need to reduce energy consumption. All the other recognized solutions that exist in the market (i.e., Cadence, Synopsys and Magma), are complementary to the industrial focus of this company. The founder and CEO of this company is based in California.
