Meridian is where that work gets seen and connections are made to unlock growth.

A small number of companies present. The rest of the time is for the conversations that move capital, pilots, and partnerships forward. Presented by Neon Syndicate and the Texas Futures Coalition, Meridian brings together the operators, investors, academics, and policymakers shaping what comes next, including perspectives drawn from the front lines of corporate, venture, startups, national lab research, and the classroom at UT Austin. Together we're building a stronger ecosystem that can create healthy growth and a more resilient future. This is not a pitch competition or meetup. It is a recurring reference point for people serious about building the future here.
