Microsoft BizSpark Accelerator at SXSW

The first edition of Microsoft BizSpark Accelerator at SXSW generated entries from more than 200 innovative companies from around the United States and across the world. Building on this momentum, we are thrilled to begin preparations for the 2010 version of this exciting competition. Finalists are given the opportunity to showcase their product or company in front of a panel of professional industry expert judges and a live audience.

What we are offering is a way to make global connections across the span of the industry in the space of a few days -- connections that can propel your product or company to the next level. We invite YOU to launch your creations into the future with us at the 2010 Microsoft BizSpark Accelerator at SXSW event.


Competition to showcase at Accelerator 2009 was intense. We predict more of the same for March 2010. This is a good thing. The more intense the competition, the better we are able to uncover the most innovative and creative ideas of tomorrow.
