The annual UP.Summit event held by venture capital firm UP.Partners, in partnership with Steuart Walton and Ross Perot Jr., welcomed innovation leaders to Louise Thaden Field in Bentonville, Arkansas, for three days of learning about mobility technology and to try out airplanes, electric cars and bicycles, and simulators for advanced new aircraft. Many attendees represented companies that UP.Partners has invested in, but others were invited to share their technology ideas, and the result was a mixture of technology presentations and serendipitous meetings of 300 smart and creative people that accelerated new ideas for mobility solutions.
An invitation-only event, this was the seventh year for UP.Summit, which rotates between Bentonville and Dallas/Ft. Worth. According to UP. Partners, “Investors in attendance represent over $1 trillion worth of investable capital. These are the leaders of the most impactful companies moving people and goods with a common goal of transforming the moving world by building and investing in companies that move people and goods cleaner, faster, safer, and at lower cost—on the ground, in the air, on the sea, and in space.”
