About the Event

As a part of Innov865 week the Knoxville Chamber Premier Partners are invited to welcome the Spark Cleantech Accelerator cohort of companies to Knoxville! Innov865 Week is a weeklong celebration of Knoxville’s entrepreneurial spirit that brings together startups, entrepreneurs, makers, investors, business leaders, students, and community leaders from across East Tennessee for a week of educational panels, pitch competitions, investor roundtables, and social events. It is presented by the Innov865 Alliance, a coalition that develops, supports, and promotes the region’s entrepreneurial ecosystem.

Reception attendees will get to meet the innovators and learn more about their startups during this meet-and-greet showcase.
