Start-up Landscape and Industry Drivers in Critical Growth Industries and The Nexus for New Investment Opportunities 
 
Cyber intrusions have increased exponentially over the last decade, exposing sensitive personal, health and business information, disrupting critical business operations, and imposing high costs on the economy. With the increasing adoption of cloud computing, mobile devices and web-based applications, hackers have more opportunities than ever to infiltrate and crash network systems. The two greatest areas of opportunity for investment capital and the start-up community is in healthcare and cyber security. The nexus of these two sectors provides an even greater and more focused set of opportunities for investment.

9:15am      Healthcare Technology Start-up Landscape & Market Drivers

Dramatic changes are taking place to protect Private Health Information (PHI). A national push to reshape the delivery and cost of health care has been spearheaded by initiatives such as the Affordable Care Act in 2012, the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health (HITECH) Act, enacted in 2009 and the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) in 1996. Each of these have been driving great growth opportunities for companies which improve healthcare quality, prevent medical errors, increase administrative efficiency and expand access to affordable care.

11:00 am Safeguarding Patient Privacy/ Cyber Risks in Personal Healthcare Information

As new technologies evolve, the medical workforce becomes more mobile and efficient by moving away from paper processes and relying more heavily on the use of computers. The rise in the use of administrative and clinical technologies creates and increase in potential security risks. Health care organizations now account for one third of all security breaches reported across all industry segments worldwide. Cyber risks in Personal Healthcare Information (PHI) is strong and real and is amongst the industries area which have seen the greatest increase in incidents. Among the reasons are that covered entities, business associates and individual victims are far slower to identify data thefts than organizations in other sectors.

LUNCH

 

RISKS & HURDLES FOR COMPANY LEADERS AND INVESTORS

1:00 pm       Investment Capital Restrictions for Technology Start-ups and Pending Regulatory Risks

Export control and compliance knowledge is essential for any company dealing with technology that crosses borders. Getting issues of CFIUS and ITAR right can make or break a business. The Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS) review process has been the subject of significant reforms over the past several years given the state of national security. These include numerous improvements in internal CFIUS procedures and enactment of the Foreign Investment and National Security Act of 2007 (FINSA) and changes in International Traffice in Arms Regulations (ITAR). Other regulatory impacts could add either risk or opportunity for new start-ups and their investors, coming in the form of possible Congressional action and Executive orders.
