Fifty tech startups in the fields of robotics, artificial intelligence, big data analytics, and other fast-growing fields will be on display next week at the Emerging Companies Summit in San Jose.

Five companies that have been carefully selected for their unique innovation will present onstage in the morning. Another dozen will compete in the afternoon for a $100,000 check, presented on the spot. Each of these 12 competitors gets eight minutes to present and respond to questions from an expert panel — eight minutes that could change the course of their company.

Another 40 startups will be on display in the expo hall, describing how their innovative technologies could disrupt fields like pharmaceutical development, security, 3D imaging, and deep learning.

The event, now in its seventh year, takes place on Wednesday, March 18th at the San Jose Convention Center. Go here to register.
