An expo-style showcase featuring UVU Bio-incubated ventures, an interactive UVU Africa and UVU Bio stand, and a VR lab tour. This provides tangible exposure to ventures and infrastructure, and supports curated introductions. The Demo District is the “high touch” conversion space. It works when there is a mix of capital, partners, and talent moving through it consistently.
