The Big Pitch

UMDF will once again host “The Big Pitch” where three post-doc researchers who are selected out of 50+ applicants, compete for a $50,000 accelerators prize. Each finalist gives a five-minute pitch on their research project live at the conference.

UMDF accelerators have the exclusive opportunity to vote for their favorite pitch. Visit the UMDF accelerators page or drop by a UMDF booth to find out how to become an accelerator today.
