SUMMARY:Startup Showcase featuring Innovation Crossroads and Spark
DESCRIPTION:Join us on Tuesday\, October 13\, from 5:00–7:00 p.m. as the Oak Ridge Chamber of Commerce and ETEC proudly welcome the newest cohorts of two programs helping cultivate the next generation of high-impact entrepreneurs and innovative companies. \nInnovation Crossroads is Oak Ridge National Laboratory’s U.S. Department of Energy Lab-Embedded Entrepreneurship Program\, providing early-stage innovators with access to world-class research facilities\, mentorship\, funding opportunities\, and industry connections to help transform groundbreaking ideas into successful companies. \nThis year\, we’re also excited to welcome participants from SPARK\, an accelerator that helps early-stage technology startups strengthen their business strategies\, validate their ideas\, and accelerate commercialization. \nThis reception is an opportunity to connect with these visionary founders\, learn about the groundbreaking projects they’re developing\, and explore opportunities for collaboration. Whether you’re an investor\, business leader\, researcher\, entrepreneur\, or community supporter\, your engagement helps strengthen our region’s innovation ecosystem and encourages these companies to launch\, grow\, and stay in East Tennessee. \nCome meet the cohort\, ask questions about their technologies\, discover potential partnership opportunities\, and show your support for the entrepreneurs helping shape the future of innovation in our region. \nWe look forward to welcoming you for an evening of networking\, collaboration\, and celebrating what’s next for Oak Ridge’s entrepreneurial ecosystem. \n
