InvestMidwest 2026

InvestMidwest (April 21-22, 2026; Kansas City, MO) is an investment conference highlighting startups that are seeking to commercialize innovations that will help grow a healthy, secure, and sustainable future for all. The forum will emphasize strengths of the Midwest innovation ecosystem that include thriving sectors in food and agriculture, healthcare and life sciences, and financial services among others. Technology-based, fast-growth companies that currently operate in the Midwest or those that seek to improve the overall well-being of communities in the "fly over" region will present to groups of investors at this conference. In resuming this impactful, in-person conference, we are working to highlight a wide range of early-stage, technology-based companies and entrepreneurs that seek to grow a healthy, secure, and sustainable future for all. InvestMidwest embraces the vision for inclusive economic growth set forth in the STL 2030 Jobs Plan, and the forum's presentation tracks reflect thriving and emerging Midwest industry strengths, including biomedical, agtech, geospatial and other information technologies. The forum provides the opportunity for early-stage companies to access capital and for participants to deepen relationships that will build thriving innovation ecosystems and support early-stage company growth. This is a great opportunity to meet someone new or reconnect as InvestMidwest relaunches in 2026.
