The New York State Innovation Summit is the Empire State's premier gathering of technology leaders, manufacturers, researchers, and entrepreneurs who are shaping the future of American innovation. Presented by FuzeHub in partnership with Empire State Development’s Division of Science, Technology & Innovation (NYSTAR), this annual convening brings together the full spectrum of New York's innovation ecosystem—from cutting-edge university research centers to breakthrough startups and global industry leaders. With over 550 participants converging in Rochester, the 2025 Summit celebrates technology-led growth while providing an unparalleled platform for companies and innovators to showcase disruptive products, forge strategic partnerships, and accelerate the commercialization of tomorrow's game-changing technologies.
Born from the longstanding tradition of uniting the NYSTAR-supported innovation assets, the Summit has grown into a dynamic forum where critical conversations about technology convergence, emerging markets, and manufacturing excellence take center stage. This is where New York's brightest minds don't just discuss the future of innovation—they actively create it, fostering progress and positioning the Empire State as a global leader in the technologies that matter most.
