Southeast Venture Showcase (SVS) is a transformational event that empowers research universities and federal laboratories across the Southeast to showcase their most promising technology ventures for the venture community. Led by Vanderbilt's CTTC, SVS is anchored by a 25-institution consortium spanning the Southeast, shaping a highly collaborative platform that attracts hundreds of venture investors from across the country each year. Through curated startup presentations, investor panels, and high-impact networking opportunities, SVS connects early-stage companies with venture investors—expanding access to capital and accelerating the translation of research into real-world impact.
