What is neoFest?

neoFest is an annual celebration of what's new, especially startups and novel technologies. The inaugural neoFest event (postponed) will bring together people and organizations who seek to create the conditions for a thriving culture of innovation and entrepreneurship. 


More than 200 years ago, the du Pont family chose Delaware as a great place to invent, create and transform, helping to establish a unique culture of innovation. Today, Delaware and the surrounding (mid-Atlantic) region are home to many innovative breakthroughs in bioscience, chemistry, advanced materials, agriculture, and financial & business services. This makes Delaware an ideal location for an innovation festival. neoFest will shine a bright spotlight on new technologies, products and startups derived from scientific breakthroughs. It will also celebrate and support innovators and entrepreneurs.
