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 Wallstreet Journal, Forbes and many other publications and you can find more info at http://www.scuderigroup.com/.
 
 
Since the 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.barzantn@esc-toulouse.fr.
 

For covering the cost of the bus transfer we request a financial contribution of 12 USD per participant, following the official confirmation of your participation, to be paid in cash before departure, please.

When you obtain your confirmation, please send us asap a scan of your U.S. ID or Passport, this is needed to get access to the Site.
