2020 SPIE Startup Challenge and New 6-Day Entrepreneur Program
The SPIE Startup Challenge is a high-stakes, global competition where entrepreneurs with light-enabled products have 5 minutes to pitch their businesses to a team of expert judges and vie for over $85,000 in cash, prizes, and promotion.
The SPIE Startup Challenge is held annually at Photonics West in San Francisco; the largest research conference and trade show for light-based products in North America with over 1,300 companies and 22,000 attendees.
New in 2020, we are holding a week full of training, panels, networking events for entrepreneurs, VCs, and the startup community.
