Where Utah aligns on the future of our innovation economy.

The State of Innovation is the annual convening of leaders from across industry, government, and higher education to define the priorities of Utah’s innovation economy and propel our ecosystem forward.

This isn’t your typical conference.

This is Utah’s annual moment to step back, align across ecosystem sectors, and shape what comes next for the state’s innovation economy. It’s your chance to have your voice heard. Don’t miss the opportunity to share your expertise at Utah’s Innovation Strategy Session
