The Oklahoma Grassroots Rural and Ag Business Accelerators program is set to host Demo Day Wednesday, Sept. 11, from 2:30-5 p.m. at the Hamm Institute for American Energy.
Demo Day will be an opportunity for the six rural entrepreneurs in the program’s Activate Oklahoma cohort to pitch their innovations in front of an audience of investors and business community members in hopes of taking their businesses to the next level.
Each innovator will give a five-minute presentation and will field questions from the audience. The event will also include time for one-on-one networking after all pitches have concluded.
Demo Day serves as the capstone event and graduation for the Activate Oklahoma cohort.
The Oklahoma Grassroots Rural & Ag Business Accelerators program is a collaborative rural development initiative from Oklahoma Farm Bureau along with national and state-level partners that develops Oklahoma-based innovators creating ideas, technologies and products creating economic opportunities in rural Oklahoma.
The Activate Oklahoma pipeline connects innovative rural Oklahoma businesses with resources and assistance with curriculum supported by Oklahoma Small Business Development Center and other partner organizations from around the state.
The Activate Oklahoma track is designed for any rural-based business from an Oklahoma community with a population of 50,000 or less with an innovation or product that will bring economic opportunities to Oklahoma’s rural communities.
