We’re so excited about the upcoming One Utah Summit Kinect Forum! This deal forum will feature a selection process for companies that will present at the One Utah Summit on May 1.
The Startup Pitch competition is powered by Kinect Capital in partnership with Weber State University’s Hall Global Entrepreneurship Center. It is an entrepreneur speed pitch challenge where judges rank the best ideas, and the audience selects a people’s choice award recipient. Contestants are prescreened, and the top three deliver their business pitches at the summit. Startup Pitch finalists receive cash, in-kind prizes, and tickets to the summit, where they network with Utah’s business leaders.
Every year, Utah Clean Energy brings together 400+ of Utah’s leading clean air and climate champions for our Party for Clean Power. This year’s event is scheduled for Thursday, September 28, 2023. We are back at Mid-Valley Performing Arts Theater, lining up amazing performances, speakers, and guests. Tickets coming soon, in the meantime, mark your calendars.
