“Wired has helped us in several ways. Two of us has attended the TEN program which is an excellent program for entrepreneurs especially for folks who do not have the experience of building a program and getting it going. It’s programs like that that actually take it from being a scientific discovery to being a product in the marketplace.
Over the next 5-10 years I believe you will see a lot of economic activity as a result of the TEN program.” Rick Richmond, CEO, SiMPore
