Panama City Pitch Day
Join us for the Florida Pitch Day on August 11th in Panama City, Florida.
Cohosted by FloridaCommerce, Florida SBDC Network, Florida State University, and Florida's Great Northwest, this high-impact event is designed to showcase Florida’s most promising companies innovating at the intersection of dual-use technology, cybersecurity, and military and defense. Taking place in one of Florida’s premier regions for defense innovation, the event will provide a platform for early-stage companies and small businesses to present their solutions to key Florida stakeholders, including investors, economic developers, and state leadership, as they seek to grow and expand across the state.
Participating companies will be selected from the following sectors:
Dual-Use Technology (Commercial & Defense Applications)
Military & Defense Innovation
Cybersecurity & Secure Systems
AI / Data Security Tools for Defense
Autonomous Systems & Robotics
Companies interested will need to apply by registering under the ticket type “Pitch Application.” Each selected company will have 5 minutes to present their business and solution to an expert panel of investors, economic developers, military stakeholders, and industry professionals, followed by a brief Q&A session.
The Panama City Pitch Day will also feature keynote remarks from Florida Leadership and high-value networking opportunities throughout the day — all designed to drive partnerships, support commercialization, and accelerate Florida’s defense innovation ecosystem.
