Entrepreneurs, business leaders and community partners are invited to celebrate regional innovation at the first annual Confluence Tech Hub Startup Awards on Wednesday, August 26, from 5:00–7:00 p.m. at OPO Startups, located at 119 S. Main Street in St. Charles.

Confluence Tech Hub works to foster innovation, support entrepreneurial growth and advance technology throughout St. Charles, Warren and Lincoln counties. By connecting businesses, educational institutions and technology startups, the organization is helping build a stronger regional ecosystem rooted in collaboration, mentorship and strategic investment.

The Startup Awards provide an opportunity to recognize the entrepreneurs and emerging companies contributing to that vision while connecting members of the region’s business and technology communities.
