More than 21 startups presented their technology offerings to Exelon executives and IT employees at "Dancing with Startups," a two-day event hosted by Exelon and the Economic Alliance of Greater Baltimore at the University of Maryland, Baltimore County, and the Cyber Point Technology & Innovation Center last week.
The event is part of Exelon's continuing effort to reach out to technology innovators in search of new ideas that have the potential to transform the energy industry. From cybersecurity software to smartphone technology, participating companies pitched their ideas and products during rapid-fire, 20-minute sessions. Exelon employees peppered the groups with questions, seeking to identify new technologies that Exelon might be able to pilot.
