The 2014 ITS World
Congress Calls on YOU for Transportation for Tomorrow
ITS America is looking
to the future with the 2014 ITS World Congress. For the first time ever, we
have launched our Transportation for Tomorrow: Inventors and
Investors program. This two-part program will give young
companies the opportunity to promote their most innovative ideas and
technologies on the show floor through our Entrepreneurial Village, and
also to present their best business plans to premier financial investment
groups at our Investor
Matching Event.
Emerging companies
that are working to change the way America moves should consider submitting
an application. Or, contact ITS America’s Sabrina Sussman for
information on becoming a sponsor. Submissions are due by May 14, 2014.
Learn more about
the ITS World Congress by visiting www.itsworldcongress.org.
