DAYTON, OH, July 25, 2024– Launch Dayton Startup Week, presented by Fifth Third Bank Powered by Entrepreneurs’ Center, is set to return this September, marking the premier annual gathering for the Dayton region’s entrepreneurs.

“The Entrepreneurs’ Center is excited to lead the next chapter of Launch Dayton and its flagship event, Startup Week,” said Scott Koorndyk, President of the Entrepreneurs’ Center. “Our commitment is to build on the strong foundation established by Parallax Advanced Research, continuing to fuel the entrepreneurial energy that has been a hallmark of this program. Launch Dayton Startup Week is a testament to our community’s resilience, innovation, and collaborative spirit, and we look forward to driving even greater impact in the years to come.”
