Come see what is in store for the future of Optics and Photonics! Top finalists from around the world pitch their innovations in front of a panel of judges and compete for $10,000 first place prize. Many use this opportunity to build connections with up-and-coming businesses, find promising investment opportunities, and learn about new technologies entering the optics and photonics space. This session is open to all attendees with a badge and is held on the Expo Stage within the exhibition space. Startup Challenge finals concludes with a small network reception where you can meet teams and congratulate winners.
