Web 2.0 Expo

Artesian Solutions, a provider of web-based market intelligence and surveillance software, has been selected as one of only 20 UK enterprise 2.0 companies to attend Web 2.0 Expo as part of Web Mission 09, the initiative to take 20 UK and Irish tech startups to Silicon Valley.

This year's Web Mission 09 is particularly focusing on enterprise 2.0 companies which are offering web 2.0 tools and applications for use in business environments. The winning companies were chosen due to their ability to do meaningful business globally especially in the US, including setting up office, finding funding, extending their network and developing sustainable cross-pond relationships. The companies were also assessed based on their business viability and the strength of the management team.

The prestigious expo - which takes place in Silicon Valley, San Francisco and runs from March 28th until April 3rd - will allow Artesian Solutions to meet with key influential people at Web 2.0 Expo and discuss industry developments with investors and journalists.

Andrew Yates, CEO at Artesian Solutions, comments:
'I'm delighted that Artesian Solutions has been chosen to attend Web 2.0 Expo and proud to be representing UK enterprise 2.0 companies. We are confident this will be an immensely valuable week for Artesian as we aim to establish a number of new and meaningful relationships with financiers, potential partners and advisers.

Silicon Valley is perceived as a centre of excellence for our industry and this is an opportunity that is greatly appreciated by everyone at Artesian Solutions.

The fact that Web Mission 09 is focusing on web 2.0 tools demonstrates the extent to which these types of technology have been embraced to drive businesses forward. Using the internet to provide businesses with invaluable sales and competitive intelligence is at the heart of Artesian's business and we look forward to sharing our expertise in Silicon Valley.'
