Oregon Innovation Showcase

The Oregon Innovation Showcase, held May 11–12, 2026 at The Sentinel Hotel in Portland, celebrates Oregon as a leading deep-tech innovation ecosystem. The showcase brings together entrepreneurs, investors, and ecosystem leaders highlighting companies developing transformative solutions in advanced manufacturing, clean energy, biotech, and emerging technologies. Distinct from software or consumer product events, the showcase focuses on deep-tech companies requiring five or more years of R&D and demanding patient capital. Attendees include venture capitalists, private equity investors, corporate venture arms, and strategic acquirers seeking innovation pipelines. The program features company pitches, technology demonstrations, investor panels, and networking. Sessions highlight Oregon's advantages in renewable energy, advanced materials, semiconductor equipment, and photonics. For entrepreneurs and investors targeting deep-tech opportunities, the showcase provides concentrated access to decision-makers.
