Speed Scouting

Join us online on Tuesday, November 1, 2022, from 10:00-11:30 AM ET as we introduce the newest members of the GC3 Startup Network! The 2022 cohort includes novel, more sustainable solutions for apparel & footwear, personal care & cosmetics, cleaning products, packaging, consumer products, adhesives & coatings, pharmaceuticals, and others. This fast-paced, interactive format is designed for efficiency and productivity; only 1.5- hours from your own office to decide if a one-on-one meeting is warranted. 
 
The list of startups with noncompetitive slide decks will be available in advance of the event.

Scout virtually, then consider meeting them in person in Philadelphia on November 8 at the Innovation Activation session at the GC3 Innovators Roundtable. You must register in advance to participate in this event.
