5th Annual GC3 Startup Showcase (2020)

Calling all innovators developing green chemicals, materials, products, or manufacturing technologies! The 5th Annual GC3 Startup Showcase originally scheduled for Fall 2020 has been postponed to early 2021 due to COVID-19. Ten startups will be selected to participate in a pitch competition; three of the ten will then be chosen to pitch their solutions to a panel of investors and technology scouts at the 2021 GC3 Innovators Roundtable to an audience of approximately 200 individuals representing more than 125 GC3 member companies and other organizations. The ten selected startups will receive 1 year of complimentary membership in the GC3 Startup Network and be eligible to participate in GC3 programming beginning in September 2020 to gain more familiarity with the green chemistry market space prior to the pitch competition.
