Sponsors

For an overview of the EMTM program and its value to sponsoring organizations, download the 2005 Sponsor Briefing (156KB) PDF file.

The EMTM talent pool is drawn from a mix of companies that spans multiple industries, with high-potential technology-oriented managers coming from organizations of all sizes from both the private and public sector.

Among the types of participating organizations:

• Established, multinational corporations and telecomms dealing with technology infrastructure issues to accommodate new models of outsourcing, global supply chain networks and growing customer expectations.
• IT firms positioning core capabilities and business process outsourcing in a highly competitive, fluid and global market.
• Pharmaceuticals, biochemicals and high-techs where the most important asset of the firm is the creativity and productivity of their R&D teams.
• Government and military organizations where adapting emerging technologies and understanding emerging security issues are vital.
• Medical and legal enterprises that rely increasingly on complex technologies and information systems for performing their tasks and managing their operations.
• Entrepreneurial startups where the ability to turn a brilliant idea into commercial success requires learning a new set of financial and strategic management skills.
• Consulting and venture capital firms whose competitive advantage lies in understanding the realities of all of the above.

The common challenge of these organizations lies at the intersection of business strategy and emerging technology development. EMTM tackles that challenge by preparing technology managers and senior executives who know how to see the big picture and ask the right questions — individuals who can identify emerging trends, lead multidisciplinary teams and transform ideas into successful products and services.
