Demo Day is an event for startup founders to showcase and pitch their business to investors and key industry people, in the hope to secure investment and establish valuable connections. At Central Research Laboratory, this usually represents the end of our six-month CRL Accelerator programme. It is also a day full of celebration, recognising the progress and milestones our founders have achieved throughout the programme.
Innovation is born from collaboration. Only when great minds come together can real change happen. This year, the CRL Accelerator cohort 2022 has come together to create, embrace and enhance meaningful connections. Connection with our deeper selves, and all our senses. Connection with the people around us and the digital world. Connection with our beautiful planet, with outer space and beyond. CRL Accelerator cohort 9 is here to unleash the power of connection.
