From a number video game developers and a mobile marketing firm to a farm-to-table delivery service, eight businesses will showcase their innovations at a Baton Rouge Area Chamber event being held next week in conjunction with Baton Rouge Entrepreneurship Week.
The companies will display and exhibit their products and services at Innovation Alley, which is a part of BRAC’s Big Think event taking place all day Wednesday at the Manship Theatre. Innovation Alley exhibitors include:
— BitFinity, video game development
— Bottoms Up, mobile marketing service for bars, restaurants and patrons
— Indie Plate, farm fresh grocery delivery service
— Iron 27, mobile gaming and software development
— Millifluidica, smart and miniaturized devices for chemical and biological processes
— Pixel Dash Studios, video game development
— Tuck N’ Roll Media, full-service video production
— Uber, ridesharing service
“Exposure and awareness are key factors for all start-ups,” says Adam Knapp, president and CEO of BRAC, in a prepared statement. “Innovation Alley will offer these exciting new companies the benefit of showcasing their assets to Big Think attendees. Big Think attendees will have the opportunity to test and experience new products coming to market from within the region.”
Big Think attendees will be encouraged to vote for the most engaging exhibitor. The startup with the most votes will win a cash prize, a one-year BRAC investment and recognition during Companies to Watch, an award event featuring second-stage companies from the Capital Region.
Baton Rouge Entrepreneurship Week kicks off Monday and runs through Sunday, Nov. 23, with a wide range of panel discussions, pitch competitions, networking opportunities and other events scheduled to take place across Baton Rouge.
