About the Synergiiize Summit
The Synergiiize Summit is a two-day intensive professional development summit that brings together STEM innovators and entrepreneurs with investors, funders, entrepreneurship support organizations, and intellectual property and technology transfer professionals who want to leverage their position and influence to drive change across the STEM innovation ecosystem.
The inaugural Synergiiize Summit in 2025 was supported by funding from the Small Business Administration and Qualcomm and was hosted in partnership with the American Association of Colleges and Universities, AISES: Advancing Indigenous People in STEM, and Graduate Fellowships for STEM Diversity.
