… on why MassChallenge’s INNOVATE ’25 focuses on what’s next

That’s the thinking behind INNOVATE ’25: DFW Setting the Pace, the annual day-long symposium MassChallenge is bringing to Dallas on Thursday.

“INNOVATE is about looking at the trends, technologies, and sectors that will define our regional, national, and global economies over the next 10 years,” Brumme said.

The event—presented in partnership with Lyda Hill Philanthropies—tackles the questions that matter to innovators and investors: Why is space the next trillion-dollar industry, and why Texas? How is enterprise AI moving past the hype? What’s cementing North Texas’s position in capital markets? Where are biotech and health tech actually headed?

Keynote speakers include David Snow, executive director of Pegasus Park, and Vikram Agrawal, managing director of the personal family office of Trammell S. Crow. Panels will examine the region’s expanding influence across enterprise AI, biotech and health tech, fintech, and the space economy.

“We are excited to hold this in Dallas, a region with enormous momentum and one we believe will only grow in its contribution to the global innovation agenda,” Brumme said.

The day wraps with a closing discussion and networking reception.
INNOVATE ’25 takes place Thursday, Nov. 6, from 9 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. at Pegasus Park, 3000 Pegasus Park Dr., Dallas. Learn more and register here.
