PortTechLA, a non-profit
technology center and business incubator founded in part by the port and city of
Los Angeles, is conducting its third annual PortTechExpo on Sept. 5 and 6.
This year’s conference,
according to the event’s organizer, focuses on exploring and helping to fund the
most innovative environmental, energy, transportation and security technologies
for the maritime industry.
The Expo, which attracts
business and community leaders, venture capitalists, maritime industry experts and
technology entrepreneurs from around the region, has been expanded this year to
include a pre-event evening session for a technology entrepreneur competition.
The clean technology entrepreneur
competition on Sept. 5 will feature 10 finalists, chosen from competitions to be
held Aug. 16 and 22. Selected finalists will have the opportunity to pitch their
innovative technology ideas to a panel of judges, investors and invited guests on
the evening of Sept. 5.
Entrepreneurs interested
in entering the competition can contact John Dmohowski, director of client services
at PortTechLA, via email at showcase@porttechla.org. More information on the event,
including registration costs and forms, can also be found on the PortTechLA website
