Everyone in CT’s innovation ecosystem is invited – startup companies, suppliers, manufacturers, startup ecosystem organizations, and investors.

Paul Lavoie, Connecticut’s chief manufacturing officer, will deliver a keynote.

As part of the festivities, we’re offering five startups the chance to pitch for up to $40K in product development grants. An expert panel of judges will award the prizes. More startups will have tabletop demonstrations, with a chance to win an audience choice award. Pitch and demo applications will be open from May 5th-19th.

Come engage with the FORGE startup, supplier, and investor community, learn about emerging technologies in CT, and explore potential partnerships. CT’s ecosystem is already thriving and there’s so much potential for more.
