Start-Up Launchpad at AMUGexpo

Sponsored by Toyota Production Engineering

The AMUG Start-up Launchpad returns to the AMUGexpo in 2027. This dedicated area of the expo highlights up to 10 innovative young companies in additive manufacturing, providing a unique platform for them to showcase their technologies, solutions, and ideas to the AMUG community.

The launchpad is made possible through the generous support of Toyota Production Engineering. With Toyota’s support, early-stage companies that are driving exciting new ideas and technologies in additive manufacturing immerse themselves in the AMUG community.  The Launchpad surfaces their developments, making it easier for attendees to discover, connect with, and engage with emerging players.
