Business Wire
Piper Jaffray Companies (NYSE: PJC), a leading investment bank
and asset management firm, is hosting its Technology-Enabled
Industrials Symposium on August 4-5, 2015 in Minneapolis.
The event will feature 56 private and public company executives,
as well as industry thought leaders from the fleet management and
agriculture industries. The symposium is expected to draw
approximately 50 institutional investors, private equity
professionals and venture capitalists.
Day one of the event will examine how advanced technology is
changing the way vehicle fleets are managed, while day two will
explore similar trends in agriculture.
Day One (August 4): Technology-Enabled Trucks
Senior research analyst Alex Potter, who covers companies related to trucks and
transportation technology, will be leading day one of the
symposium. With four panels throughout the day, he will address
topics such as telematics, fleet efficiency and alternative
fuels.
“This will be the third year we’ve hosted our Technology-Enabled
event, and this year’s line-up is the strongest yet,” noted Potter.
“The job of managing a vehicle fleet has become increasingly
complex in recent years, but by leveraging telematics, CNG/LPG and
efficiency-enhancing technologies, forward-looking fleets have the
opportunity to out-manoeuvre the competition.”
For day one, participating companies include managers from
several large (1000+ vehicle) fleets, as well as over 20 technology
vendors and component suppliers. Examples include Ford Motor Co.,
Ryder System, Inc., GE Capital Fleet Services – Telematics
Division, WABCO Holdings Inc., and many others.
Day Two (August 5): Technology-Enabled Agriculture
Day two will start with a keynote address from The Mosaic
Company regarding the state of the fertilizer industry. The
remainder of the day will highlight companies from across the ag
value chain, including Monsanto Co., AGCO Corporation, Land O’Lakes
Inc. and many others.
Piper Jaffray agriculture senior research analyst Brett Wong is
hosting the second day of the event, which will cover topics such
as new value-added crop chemicals, precision agriculture &
up-and-coming drone technology, and the future of ag biotech and
crop science.
“Recently we have seen agriculture turn more toward technology
in all aspects of the industry and we plan to dig into this trend
in detail,” Wong said. “New technologies help reduce costs and
improve efficiencies, while driving increased production on the
farm.”
