Is your company building the future of aging in Tennessee?

The 2026 AgeInnovate Tennessee Innovation Showcase will recognize one Tennessee-based company during the Launch Tennessee 3686 entrepreneurial conference on September 16 in Nashville.

The showcase highlights innovative companies developing solutions for older adults, caregivers and healthcare providers, giving them the opportunity to present their work before investors, founders, healthcare leaders and entrepreneurs from across the region.

Unlike the AgeInnovate AgeTech Startup Live Pitch Competition, the Tennessee Innovation Showcase is not a competition. It is a recognition opportunity designed to spotlight the innovation happening across Tennessee.

Who Should Apply?

We’re looking for Tennessee companies developing products or services in:

  • AgeTech
  • Aging in place
  • Caregiving
  • Healthcare and care delivery
  • Longevity and healthy aging
  • Accessibility and mobility
  • Independence and social connection
  • Connected communities

Whether you’re an early-stage startup or a growing company, if you’re building solutions that improve the lives of older adults and caregivers, we’d love to hear from you.

What You’ll Receive

The selected company will:

  • Be recognized live at the AgeInnovate event on September 16
  • Present alongside leaders in aging innovation
  • Gain visibility with investors, healthcare executives and entrepreneurs
  • Showcase Tennessee innovation on one of the region’s leading startup stages

Please note: The Tennessee Innovation Showcase is separate from the AgeInnovate AgeTech Startup Live Pitch Competition. The selected company will not compete for the $25,000 SAFE-note investment.
