The Oregon Innovation Showcase highlights the region’s most promising early‑stage companies that are ready to step into the spotlight for investors, industry partners, and ecosystem leaders. We’re seeking startups that reflect the momentum and quality of last year’s cohort: founders building real products, gaining early traction, and preparing for meaningful capital raises. Get high visibility exposure exhibiting your startup with a table at Emerging Startup Showcase.

If approved, your table is complimentary with your registration of a  company representative

We will accept applications until no tables remain, but they are going fast. Apply soon to secure your spot at this year’s event!

We’re looking for companies that are:

• Early‑stage and building toward scale - Pre-seed, seed, or pre‑series A companies with a clear path to growth and a compelling vision for their market.
• Developing a real, demonstrable product - Hardware, software, or physical products that exist beyond the idea stage—MVPs, prototypes, beta deployments, or early commercial versions are all welcome.
• Headquartered in Oregon or Southwest Washington - Startups rooted in the region’s innovation ecosystem and contributing to its economic and technological growth.
• Actively preparing to raise capital - Teams planning to seek investment within the next 6–12 months, whether that’s a first institutional round, a bridge round, or a significant seed raise.

Companies that bring:

• Clear customer or market validation
• Strong founder–market fit
• Early traction, pilots, or revenue signals
• A technology, product, or business model with high potential for regional and national impact
