Where Are They Now: Thriving in NYS
Winners of venture competitions across New York State continue to make headlines, as they disrupt and create new industries and generate economic growth. Hear from alumni of 43North, the 76West Clean Energy Competition, Grow-NY, the FuzeHub Commercialization Competition, and other programs. They’ll share what made them successful, how they leveraged New York State resources and technical assistance, and what’s next.
Artificial Intelligence and Virtual Reality: Emerging Applications
Advances in AI and VR/AR are powering interactive experiences across a range of applications. Hear how New York State organizations are applying these technologies to shape the future of video game development, job training, manufacturing, and consumer experiences.
Commercialization Competition
As part of the Jeff Lawrence Innovation Fund, FuzeHub holds an annual Commercialization Competition. Companies throughout New York State compete to demonstrate the commercialization potential of their technology or product. This competition is intended to help small and medium (SME) size manufacturing and technology companies further develop their prototype in an effort to pursue additional investment and customers as well as strengthen their “go-to-market” strategies, as they move from new product/production method to marketplace.

The Intersection of Technology and Environmental Data that is Supporting Offshore Wind Development
Is your technology applicable to the growth of renewable energy deployment? This panel will focus on the work required to attain New York’s Nation Leading Climate Act Goals for 100% renewable energy by 2040 and take a specific deep dive into the emerging $100 Billion offshore wind industry. As rampant growth occurs to drive implementation of the Federal goal of 30 GW by 2030, new and existing technology is being utilized in novel ways across all phases of development and operation of wind farms. With progress, challenges are emerging between the technology implementation and environmental research and value is being lost. Join us for this panel to better understand the offshore wind industry business opportunities and funding, identify how your technology may play a roll, and engage with scientists to develop successful partnerships that will deliver high value data.
