major investors.

There were a lot of topics discussed on the summit, and we will mention our key topics of interest:

legislative framework for launching an ICO.

what can Zug and Switzerland do to capture the ICO trend and what they are doing currently.

the fact that Switzerland is now forming an entire ecosystem for decentralization and blockchain, which is set to disrupt many industries and provide a launching ground for startups serious about their ICOs. This includes a legislative definition for ICOs, different services providers such as SwissCom and legal advisors, different incentives, interconnectivity with other startups, etc.

the fact that key things ICO startups need to excel at are team, having a live product, lead users, real use case for the blockchain as opposed to a forced fake one, real use case for decentralization, a good case for where the funds raised are going to go and a quality team of advisors. Energy Premier has received good feedback across the board on these categories.

Out of 17 ICOs that presented and additional 10 ICO startups that participated as VIPs, only 3 ICOs had a live and working product, which includes Energy Premier. There were only positive reactions about Energy Premier regarding the live and working product that our project has.

We have met and formed early partnership discussions with startup companies, including:
