The selection committee is looking for North Carolina-based companies at any stage of development that possess technology that is innovative, "demo-able" and has strong current or potential commercial application.

"By being one of the IT leaders selected to demonstrate at InfoTech, you go from hearing the latest buzz to being the latest buzz at a conference targeting the IT elite."
