    Apologies for double posting

    Dear colleagues:

    I would like to share with you information about a site visit organized with the IM division that should be of interest to members of BPS, TIM, ENT and OMT as well. I've been working with Scuderi for 3 years now and it's a very fascinating company (www.scuderigroup.com), so the trip to their partner R&D lab should be exciting - there are still some places left and it would be a shame not to fill them!

    Please see the following information from IMD Newsletter: 

    Visit to South West Research, San Antonio, & Scuderi Group Research Collaboration

    The IM Division Outreach Committee is pleased to announce the following exciting opportunity: Visit of South West Research Institute, San Antonio & Scuderi Group research collaboration, as an off-site activity.

    Date: Mon, 15 Aug 2011 Time: Depart at 1:40pm and return before 4:45pm Meeting place: Central Lobby of the San Antonio Convention Center Cost: US$12.00 per participant (for the bus transfer) to be paid in cash before departure Registration: Email event organizer, Cordula Barzantny at c.barzantny@esc-toulouse.fr, and please include passport information (e.g. a scan) because there is classified activity happening around our visit. You will receive an official confirmation following your registration.  


    Southwest Research Institute (SwRI), headquartered in San Antonio, Texas, is one of the oldest and largest independent, nonprofit, applied research and development (R&D) organizations in the United States. Founded in 1947, SwRI provides contract research and development services to industrial and government clients in the United States and abroad (www.swri.org).

    This offers an exceptional opportunity to learn about international networks of technological innovation for the case of the Scuderi Group and also meet a Scuderi family member, a partner of SwRI for alternative combustion engines. The Scuderi Group is a very fascinating 20 person, family-business engine technology company based in the US with an office in Frankfurt, Germany, Nagoya, Japan and world-wide collaborations. They developed an alternative (combustion) engine based on their father's concept (who developed the CFC-free fridge) together with SwRI and some MNCs like Bosch, Mahle, Exceldyne and others. They already have a few hundred patents and are looking for first licensees before they go public. In terms of financing, they used family, friends and family offices to collect $85m - being pre-revenue. The company has recently been covered in the Wall Street Journal, Forbes and many other publications.


    PS. Since space is limited, we take reservations on a first-come, first-served basis and request that you advice us - even at very short notice – if you cannot honor this visit in the last minute despite your registration at c.barzantny@esc-toulouse.fr.


    Hope see many of you on this trip and look forward to meeting you in San Antonio,

    Florian
