Innovate SOMO Week

Innovate SOMO Week is a community-driven, hybrid event designed to highlight entrepreneurial success, workforce development and economic innovation across the 47 counties of Southern Missouri.

While Springfield and Cape Girardeau serve as innovation hubs, the goal is to showcase activity happening in all communities — big and small. Whether that means featuring a high-growth tech startup, a small-town business that’s thriving or an innovative workforce training program, there are multiple ways for communities to participate.
