Join us for the TechForge Kickoff at the DLAB Event Space on February 19, where innovation meets opportunity! We’ll connect you with market-ready inventions, like-minded individuals ready to build a business, and local entrepreneurs who are actively shaping the startup ecosystem.

Be ready to participate in an engaging event that will result in the formation of teams prepared to leap into the world of entrepreneurship and startups, with guidance along the way from Elevate and various regional partners. You’re also welcome to join us if you have your own invention that’s ready to go to market.

The presentation begins at 5:05 pm and will include a complimentary dinner, so come ready to learn, connect, and take the first step toward building something impactful.

TechForge is partially funded by EDA Build to Scale Venture Challenge

There is no fee, however, we do ask you to RSVP so we ensure we have enough room to accommodate attendees. This is an in-person event.

If you have any food intolerances, please notify us in advance so we can attempt to accommodate. Please email events@elevaterapidcity.com with your information.
