The Silicon Valley Study Tour seeks to create and maintain an important bridge between young graduates, researchers, business angels, “start-uppers”, managers and entrepreneurs with the many successful Italian and Italian-American high-tech, biotech, and venture capital executives in Silicon Valley.
