IEEE/CN - October 2026 Meeting (Away) "2026 IGE SHOWCASE"
Tuesday, October 20, 2026
4:30pm – 7:30 pm
San Diego IEEE Consultants' Network October 2026 Meeting ("Away Game")
=> 2026 IGE SHOWCASE<=
This month we will be on the UCSD campus (with complementary parking!) supporting their Institute for the Global Entrepreneur (IGE) and keeping in mind that they are always looking for mentors for their entrepreneurs.
This showcase puts you in the room with UCSD Engineering, MedTech, and MBA startups transitioning out of graduate research labs and into the commercial market. It’s a great place to swap technical insights directly with the founders, talk through their actual scaling bottlenecks, or explore technical advisory board and mentor roles. Even if you are just looking to see what’s coming out of the labs right now, it’s a low-pressure way to connect with the local deep-tech ecosystem and help guide the next wave of innovators.
Overview
IGE is hosting its annual showcase, highlighting UCSD Faculty, Students, and Alumni Startups. See demos, meet with founders, and learn how IGE continues to make an impact with our industry partners and investors to bring more technologies to market.
Startups from the IGE MedTech Accelerator and UCSD Office of Innovation & Commercialization Horizon Accelerator will be highlighted, featuring startups in
MedTech, BioTech, Therapeutics, AI, Machine Learning, IoT, SAAS, Energy, Green & BlueTech, Materials Science and Sustainability.
