Twin Cities Startup Week - Innovation Day

Twin Cities Startup Week (TCSW) is Minnesota’s premier startup festival, a five day, multi venue event connecting entrepreneurs, investors, corporate innovators, and support organizations to accelerate startups and strengthen the region’s innovation ecosystem

For five days, the whole ecosystem connects at once. Founders meet investors, student’s meet operators, and builders meet their first customer. 

The 2026 TCSW is scheduled September 14–18, 2026, with confirmed sessions including industry, innovation, investor, and community days, plus networking and mentorship opportunities

Purchase a one-day pass for any day for only $25 or select other pass levels at your discretion. 

The once day pass gives you access to all Twin Cities Startup Week events happening only on a select day. Select the day or days you want to participate. It’s a simple, flexible option for attendees who want to experience a full day of sessions, workshops, and networking without committing to the entire week. This pass lets you explore the energy of TCSW, connect with founders and innovators, and make the most of a single high impact day.
