If data is the new oil, then thousands of new companies have started to drill for it. Some are building data marketplaces to host the world’s knowledge; others, powerful tools to process petabytes instantly. And many more are re-thinking what’s possible in old industries, disrupting lazy incumbents and revitalizing entire markets.

Showcase your company to industry leaders

Once again this year at Strata, we’ll be inviting the best of the best to show what they’re up to. The Startup Showcase is a chance for ten finalists to demonstrate their innovations to a packed room of investors, entrepreneurs, journalists, and potential employees.
