These companies are among a select group of just 75 startups that made the cut to pitch and exhibit at this year’s Innovation Showcase, which is being held at the Dallara Indycar Factory on the west side of Indianapolis on July 9.

But that’s only the beginning, two incredible keynote speakers are also scheduled — T.A. McCann and Chris Heivly, both seasoned entrepreneurs with amazing personal startup success stories.
