January 10, 2009, Annapolis
MD-based SemaConnect Inc
is one of a handful of “Early Pick” presenters pre-selected for the
2009 WBTshowcase, a prestigious global investment and licensing forum.
The 2009 WBTshowcase will be held from March 24-25, 2009, in
Arlington-DFW, Texas. SemaConnect Inc’s
charging infrastructure technology, which represents a significant
innovation in automobile to grid connectivity space, will compete
with up to 100 other presenting companies and research institutions at

can promises to dramatically transform the charging scenario for the
plug-in vehicles of tomorrow at this event. This opportunity recognizes
the importance of charging infrastructure in the success of clean
vehicles in the future”. Each WBTshowcase presenter will
be provided a unique opportunity to be mentored by a team of industry
pros to help hone their pitch and concisely share their overall
investment or licensing opportunity. An onsite screening panel,
comprised of seed and early stage venture investors, tech scouts from
Fortune 500 companies, and angel investors will determine the event’s
"Best of Show" Award winner.
“Now more than ever, today’s
investors and
licensees are eager to capitalize on the non-dilutive research
development conducted at private companies, universities, research
institutions, and federal labs,” said Paul Huleatt, WBTshowcase CEO.
“By partnering in this fashion, presenting companies and institutions
find partners, while investors and licensees gain access to tomorrow’s
cutting edge technologies today - all in a focused, pre-vetted,
pre-prepped fashion. There is simply no parallel.”
