First of all, I want to wish you a wonderful new year, and I take the opportunity of this first issue of the Varioptic e-newsletter, to do so!

Our first event this year, is our participation to 3GSM Congress , the most famous exhibitions in the mobile world, and we invite you to visit us in Cannes on Mai-Mai2 boat and to attend a cocktail party on the Chantella, Esmertec's Boat, from 18:30 onwards on 23 February.

With this newsletter, our goal is to create a monthly appointment with you, to keep you informed and give you the latest news about technological advances, market evolution and perspectives, Varioptic's events participation, product innovations, new products.

Since Varioptic was created in 2002 by Bruno Berge, the company has highly contributed to improve electro-wetting, the technology we have pioneered in. In 2003, Varioptic which was granted a 2 million euros loan by Sofinnova Partners to develop its first products generation and to prepare the next one, had launched the first adaptable lens based on the principle of electro-wetting. It will be shown on the Sofinnova's Boat, Mai-Mai 2, at the next 3GSM congress which will take place in Cannes ( France ) from 23 to 26 of February.

Be sure that 2004 will be a great year and that we will have a lot to tell you !

Looking forward to seeing you soon at Cannes ,

Sincerely yours,

Etienne Paillard
