Editorial

ETRE 2006 will focus on disruptive technologies and business models that are transforming
the industry. Each sector (telecom, hardware, software, security, wireless, mobility, digital
media, finance, etc.) will be addressed individually, thus serving as a foundation upon which
the entire ecosystem will be evaluated.

The editorial team will carefully select firms from each sector that best exemplify disruption,
innovation and imagination, creating a framework for compelling discussions and debates.
New chairpeople will join the editorial team and a group of industry experts and analysts will
provide further insights during the program.

In addition to the most exciting private companies, ETRE will gather more CEOs of publicly
traded firms than ever before. Many public companies are at the forefront of our sector,
leading the way in research, technology development, and business and market strategy.
