Luminate NY 2019: Lightning Awards
Luminate is the world's largest Optics, Photonics and Imaging accelerator focused on advancing next-generation OPI-enabled companies. The accelerator program accepts ten companies per year to compete for $2 million in follow-on funding.
Each of the ten companies will receive an initial $100,000 seed investment. In January, the startups will move to Rochester to attend educational sessions, work with experienced mentors, fine-tune their technologies, and leverage the vast optics, photonics, and imaging resources in the region. The program is administered by NextCorps and funded by empire State Development’s Finger Lakes Forward Upstate Revitalization Initiative. Now is your chance to meet the ten companies vying for the prize to be announced at Demo Day in June.
