The next AgTech Connect conference is happening in Lincoln on Wednesday, July 17. The event is designed to foster connection and innovation among investors, founders and producers in the AgTech space in the midwest. Registration is open now.

Event organizers say the IO2024 Summit promises to be an invaluable gathering for those interested in the cutting edge of innovation—whether in startups, technology or creative industries. The summit aims to spotlight the thriving innovation ecosystem in the Midwest and beyond. It also marks the the kick off of Silicon Prairie Startup Week.

The creators of the Family Room app call it a “nurse in your pocket.” The app helps translate medical jargon during a hospitalization—an already stressful experience—so that patients and their families can make better-informed decisions about care.

Happening Nov. 11-16, Silicon Prairie Startup Week is a six-day celebration of the startup and entrepreneurial ecosystem in Nebraska. Get ready for an unforgettable experience spanning three days in Lincoln, three days in Omaha, with additional events in Council Bluffs and Ashland.

Applications are now open for the Nebraska Small Business Assistance Act Program. Nebraska entrepreneurs may be eligible to receive funding for professional services, or for costs associated with starting or growing a new business.
