(firmenpresse) - MELVILLE, NY -- (Marketwire) -- 02/16/12 -- The Long Island Capital Alliance ("LICA"), the leading non-profit capital formation and business development organization serving regional companies, today announced a strategic partnership with the Long Island Forum for Technology ("LIFT"). The partnership with LIFT will facilitate LICA's reach into the burgeoning and fragmented technology industry. Initially focusing on one technology sector, LIFT will play a major role as a partner in LICA's Homeland Security and Defense Capital Forum scheduled for March 9.
"We are pleased to announce our strategic affiliation with LIFT as part of our strategy of forming alliances with major Long Island business organizations," said Jeffrey L. Bass, Chairman of LICA. "LIFT has an industry-driven initiative structure, providing Long Island businesses with a wide range of programs directed at creating an environment for innovation, lowering the cost of operations and increasing growth, focused on creating Long Island's future. LIFT has provided a number of companies that will present at our Homeland Security and Defense Capital Forum, and we look forward to further collaboration now and in the future. Each presenting company has been handpicked by LICA for this event, and possesses what we and LIFT believe is the 'Wow Factor' that may serve as the catalyst for significant growth."
"As a leading player in capital formation assistance for regional companies for almost 30 years, our strategic partnership with LICA represents a critical component of our mission to serve regional technology companies," said LIFT President Frank Otto. "LICA has long served as an advocate for business financing. As our constituent companies can attest, accessing the capital markets for small, growing businesses is vitally important yet extremely challenging. LIFT and LICA will collectively be of far more value to strengthening Long Island's economic development and employment outlook."
