As one of the winners of the program “GoSiliconValley” from the Austrian Trade Commission in 2011  and being a so called Austrian flagship company for settling in Silicon Valley we were asked to host an informative and welcoming day at our office. It was a pleasure having all these members of the “GoSiliconValley” initiative, local speaker Kathleen McCowin, Associate Director at University of California at Berkeley and our friends from the Austrian Trade Commission at the Stratodesk office. We did your best to give them an input, information, and advice to take along on their way from Austria to Silicon Valley.
