ABOUT THE EMERGING GROWTH
AND INNOVATION SERIES

Because of the growing momentum and business development opportunities that the Connect Northwest forums have created, we will continue to host these informative and timely events.  The Emerging Growth and Innovation Series will be held four times per year.  Each series features presentations from various disciplines within an industry including the private sector, research and educational institutions, venture capital, and emerging companies.

The presentation portion of the forum will be held at 3:30 pm and will include a keynote speaker and others followed by a panel discussion which may include a researcher, a technologist, an industry expert, a business leader and an investor. The purpose of the panel is to provide working knowledge and current updates of a specific segment within an industry.  The benefit for attendees is an opportunity to hear a cross-section of perspectives within a specific industry. In addition, this event will facilitate, promote and foster relationships among entrepreneurs, business leaders, investors and researchers.
