Connecticut's most promising technology innovators displayed their products at the Connecticut Technology Council's Sixth Annual Awards program for emerging or start up companies in the state and the region who qualified with:

The Innovation Summit was presented by CTC, the Crossroads Venture Group, and the Connecticut Innovation Ecosystem. This multi-faceted event celebrated this year's early stage companies with
the best potential for success.
The program included a poster fair featuring the technologies and services of the designated Tech Companies to Watch, an elevator “pitch competition" concluding with the selection of one overall winner, and the awards presentation for the top five companies in each
of these Innovation Summit categories:
- Technology Product or Service
- Software Product
- Internet/New Media

CTC selected 75 companies to participate this year as Tech Companies to Watch, representing an array of technology verticals. Most are recent start-ups, a few are more mature tech companies who have been in business for a few years and have significant revenue. Several of the pre-revenue companies are at concept stage.
The Innovation Summit attracted nearly 400 attendees; entrepreneurs, angels and venture investors, corporate business development executives and technology boosters, while the Tech Companies to Watch had the opportunity to meet with potential investors
