Polsky's signature deep-tech showcase, slotted as the kickoff anchor of TechChicago Week — live pitches from the next wave of Midwest spinouts in quantum, AI, cleantech and data infrastructure, plus keynotes and breakout rooms aimed at the investors and corporates that actually back capital-intensive science companies. UChicago is positioning itself as the US deep-tech bridge (quantum prairie, PsiQuantum, the Institute for Climate), and this is the public-facing version of that thesis. Worth the trip downtown if you're commercializing hard tech or want a clean look at what's coming out of the labs here.
