Next year’s New York State Innovation Summit will be held in October in Saratoga Springs, presenters of the event NYSTAR and FuzeHub announced last month.
The event will be held Oct. 16-17 at the Saratoga City Center.
The multi-day event is for New York state organizations that want to showcase and discover new and emerging technologies that support innovation and drive business growth.
It serves as an opportunity to foster collaboration; introduce industry to experts that can assist growth, strengthen our statewide innovation ecosystem and showcase promising early stage companies.
“Whether you’re a startup, an economic developer, or an established manufacturer, the NYS Innovation Summit is for you,” organizers said.
The 2023 New York State Innovation Summit will showcase companies and researchers at the forefront of emerging technologies and new advancements in production capabilities.
The event celebrates New York State leadership in technology-led economic growth with experts in biotechnology, new materials, energy innovation, and artificial intelligence that will explore current technology convergence opportunities, ways to accelerate commercialization, and issues of manufacturing sustainability.
The decision by the organizers — Empire State Development’s Division of Science, Technology and Innovation (NYSTAR), and FuzeHub, the statewide center for the New York Manufacturing Extension Partnership (NY MEP) — reflects the Capital Region’s evolution into a hotbed of innovation and technology-led economic development.
“Decades of investment and hard work have put the Capital Region at the forefront of innovation nationally, especially in the semiconductor industry. We’re excited to bring the New York State Innovation Summit to a region that is emerging as a national hub for semiconductors, clean energy, video game development and so much more,” said FuzeHub Executive Director Elena Garuc. “We expect to showcase the Capital Region’s world-class research and technology capabilities, presenting this dynamic community as a model to emulate for regions across our state and nation.”
Officials said the Innovation Summit brings significant economic benefits to its host region. More than 500 attendees from across the state attended the 2022 Innovation Summit in Buffalo. It featured nearly 100 exhibitors, more than 50 speakers from the biggest companies in semiconductors, biotechnology, clean energy and other key industries, and $500,000 in funding was awarded to New York state innovators.
More information will be released over the ensuing months including information for exhibitors and attendees.
