SXSW Accelerator pitch event presented by 24/7 Intouch is a platform to allow early stage technology startups to pitch their product and/or services to industry technology experts, high profiled media personnel, and Venture Capitalists / Angel Investors. Three companies that have advanced from the previous day and earlier round within the Innovative World Technologies category will dazzle a live audience, panel of three judges and co-emcees with their ideas, innovations, product and/or service on Sunday, March 13. A grand prize winner for each category will be selected at the end of the day as part of the evening SXSW Accelerator Awards Ceremony.

Any creative and innovative technology that does not fit in our other category were encouraged to apply here. We are currently seeing lots of innovation in the Internet of Things, privacy, and transportation such as autonomous vehicles, energy, space, natural resources, agriculture, and robotics. If your business / service / application applies to one of these fields (or something not on this list that is even more ground-breaking), then this is your category.
