Going to Tech Open Air (TOA) in Berlin?

I n July, we’ll be back at Berlin’s Tech Open Air (TOA) festival, offering practical tips to technology businesses on how to use PR to raise awareness – particularly when you’re looking to attract investors.

However attractive your technology or business model may be, having other people endorse you or demonstrating thought leadership within your sector is reassuring to potential investors and can help to differentiate you. You can read more about the impact it can have in our interview with corporate finance specialist, Paul Billingham.

"In many ways the CEO is the most valuable commodity, especially for companies in early investment rounds."
