The Connecticut Technology Council, in partnership with the Angel Investor Forum (AIF), Biomedical Engineering Alliance and Consortium (BEACON), Connecticut Innovations, Crossroads Venture Group (CVG) and Connecticut United for Research Excellence (CURE), is proud to present the 2016 Innovation Summit. Each year, this event brings together the region's most innovative start-ups and emerging growth companies along with funding sources, investors, and professional development resources. Now in our tenth year, the Innovation Summit has proven that Connecticut has what it takes to keep the heart of applied creativity beating, furthering our business climate as well as our technological future.

We are thrilled to present this year's carefully chosen Showcase Companies, taking care to recognize their potential for growth and success. We are excited to once again gather the entrepreneurial community for a day of networking and celebration.

Join us at one or more of four valuable workshops where you’ll learn about crowdfunding, talent acquisition, angel investing and more. Workshops are open to all attendees and strongly encouraged.
