Google I/O Extended Luxembourg

For the first time, Luxembourg will welcome its Google I/O Extended event. But what is Google I/O? And what are the Google I/O Extended events?

Google I/O is two days of inspirational talks, hands-on learning, and a chance to hear more about Google’s latest developer products. The event takes place every year in San Francisco and features highly technical, in-depth sessions focused on building web, mobile, and enterprise applications with Google and open web technologies such as Android, Chrome, Chrome OS, Google APIs, Google WebToolkit, App Engine, and more.

The Google I/O Extended events are focused on bringing the local developer community together to experience the keynote and other main Google I/O sessions together, in real-time. Conferences and keynotes delivered in San Francisco can be live-streamed or podcasted in order not to miss the inspiring talks from Google’s experts and influencers. They also offer unique activities targeted to developers, such as codelabs, technical workshops, etc.

The Venue

Technoport is hosting the event in their premises. Technoport has been set-up back in June 2012 as the result of the merge between the former Technoport, a technology-oriented business incubator launched by the Public Research Center Henri Tudor back in 1998, and Ecostart I and II, business support infrastructures developed since 2004 by the Ministry of the Economy and Foreign Trade.

The global mission of Technoport is to help and support individuals and small teams to validate and bridge their ideas to success through three platforms, an incubator, coworking place and a fablab.
