The Greater Madison Chamber of Commerce announced the five finalists for its annual Pressure Chamber pitch contest, to be held at the Majestic Theatre from 3-4:30 p.m. Wednesday, Aug. 18 as part of Forward Festival.

All the finalists are greater-Madison based: Advocate MD, eCIO, Mobile22, Nano RED and Pivotal Health.

“From innovations in how we treat and care for people, to how we better collaborate, provide services and build the transportation system of tomorrow, this year’s Pressure Chamber finalists are a perfect illustration of the many global challenges being solved right here in Greater Madison,” Chamber President Zach Brandon said in a statement.

As in years past, companies will pitch their business to a panel of national investors, business executives and a live audience. The winning company also receives a trip to Silicon Valley to meet with investment firms in the fall.

Cultured Decadence won the event in 2020.
