Some time has passed since we first reported on the inaugural i2iowa Investors and Innovators Forum, and in the interim lots of details have emerged about the April 12 event.
i2iowa will feature a pair of keynote speakers familiar to readers of Silicon Prairie News. Christian Renaud (far left), a principal at StartupCity Des Moines, will deliver the opening keynote, “Entrepreneurial Ecosystem Evolution.” Scott Case (near left), the CEO of the Startup America Partnership, will give the lunchtime address, “Access Is Everything.”
Organizers have also nailed down the 15 startups that will present at i2iowa. Those startups (with links to informative profiles provided by i2iowa) are:
