The first annual Oregon Innovation Showcase brought together an incredible community of investors, entrepreneurs, and ecosystem leaders to build and grow Oregon’s  thriving deep tech sector. From groundbreaking startups seeking early-stage funding to established Oregon-grown companies, the showcase highlighted the innovation and leadership driving our region forward.

The best of Oregon’s innovation ecosystem—including incubators, accelerators, state agencies, universities, venture capitalists, and economic development programs—helped attendees find the right mentors, funding, and resources to de-risk their innovations and turn bold ideas into thriving companies. We learned from successful entrepreneurs across diverse technology sectors how to launch and scale ventures along with securing early investment. With engaging conversations, inspiring pitches, and a strong spirit of collaboration, the showcase strengthened relationships across sectors and sparked optimism for Oregon’s economic future.

Thank you to everyone who helped shine a light on the bold ideas, talented founders, and growing investor interest that make Oregon a hub for innovation. We are proud of what we accomplished together and excited for what comes next.
