Organizers of Summerfest Tech have announced the particulars of the two-day event’s pitch competition, where companies can earn cash, tickets to Summerfest and Summerfest Tech, but probably more importantly, present their technologies to an audience of business executives and industry leaders.

The 5 Lakes Pitch Competition is open to startups within the Great Lakes region focused on innovation in health, smart transit, energy, water, agriculture, workplace efficiency and advanced manufacturing. Ten startups will pitch on the first day of Summerfest Tech on June 25 and four finalists will pitch on the second day, June 26.
