For the 5th year, PCI partnered with the Penn Wharton Austin Alumni group to host a startup pitch session in conjunction with the South by Southwest (SXSW) Interactive Conference. The pitch format remained virtual but 12 Penn-affiliated startup companies from the life sciences and tech sectors were able to present their tech, engineering, and healthcare innovations to a national group of investors and partners as well as alumni. PCI is looking forward to returning in person to SXSW Interactive in Austin in 2023.
