On this occasion, Demo Day, traditionally held at Juárez’s Technology Hub, will be held in El Paso in partnership with the Consulate General of Mexico.
During this first edition of El Paso Demo Day, companies that successfully completed The Bridge Accelerator program will showcase their sales pitches to potential buyers and investors from the international industry. The event aims to capitalize on the growing need for nearshoring and strengthen the region to leverage this opportunity.
