March and April were heavy travel months for the APIOiX crew. First up, a return to Riyadh where we helped coordinate a conference for the King Salman Institute for Entrepreneurship at King Saud University.

Apio brought together twelve speakers from three countries to present keynote lectures and training courses for inventors, faculty, students, and entrepreneurs.

Keynotes were delivered by David Frazee, a Silicon Valley high tech strategist and managing director of Richmond Global Ventures, and Michael Batalia, CEO of Wide Eyed Technologies and member of the Perlan Project Mission II Team.

April saw a visit to VISTEC, a division of the Vietnam Ministry of Science and Technology, Hanoi. It was a great meeting and we look forward to the opportunity to collaborate on projects.
