The Massachusetts Innovation Network celebrated the wrap-up of its 2023 Eddies Season last night. The 8-month long innovation-fueling program started in March with nearly 100 startup teams representing 7 Innovation Tracks; eighteen teams advanced to the final, live phase of the competition (October 4) which included 4-min pitches and exhibits of the technologies. Through the program the startups received individualized mentorship, specifically designed supplemental entrepreneurial development modules to address their needs, and hands-on support to thrust them forward towards their commercialization and scaling journey. The season culminated with an exciting night of celebration, during which 8 companies were honored with The Eddie Award (formerly New England Innovation Award).
