Did you know that Rochester ranks 1st among 125 global cities in Patents per Capita? That it’s one of America’s “50 Hottest Cities for Business Expansion/Relocation”?

The companies listed on this page have committed to meeting with one or more students during the Bright Idea competition to talk with you about your innovative ideas!
In order to complete your entry in the contest, you need a letter of endorsement from a local company that is related to your Bright Idea. Consider the ways that a company might have a connection to your product or service. Might they manufacture your product – or sell it? Would they purchase your service? Do they provide engineering design services or develop complex software systems? Please review the companies below and let us know via email which one looks like the best match to you. The list is continuousely growing as their registration forms come in. If you’re having a hard time deciding which company is the best match – or you don’t see a company with the background that you’re looking for – we’re here to help! Don’t delay in arranging to meet with your endorsement company!”
