Episode Notes
Welcome to another thrilling episode of ITSPmagazine's RSA Conference US 2023 Coverage Podcast, hosted by Sean and Marco. In today's episode, we dive into an engaging conversation with Cecilia Marinier from the RSA Conference, who is responsible for managing the suite of innovation programs, and those aimed at college students. This captivating discussion will give you a deeper understanding of the exciting things happening in the world of cybersecurity innovation.
Cecilia shares insights into the Innovation Sandbox contest, an 18-year-old cornerstone event of the conference that has seen billions of dollars of investments and produced numerous successful companies. With a 150% increase in submissions this year, the top 10 companies have been announced, showcasing a diverse range of backgrounds and problem-solving approaches.
In addition to the Innovation Sandbox, we learn about Launchpad, an event that focuses on earlier stage startups, where three entrepreneurs pitch to venture capitalists. The venture capitalists themselves come from varied backgrounds, bringing unique perspectives and valuable questions to the table.
We also explore the Early Stage Expo, where 50 startups showcase their solutions, and a series of informative content sessions aimed at those interested in becoming entrepreneurs. The RSA Conference is committed to innovation, and this episode highlights the passion and excitement behind it.
