The Innovation Showcase is back at Transform 2026: The Orchestration of Enterprise Agentic AI at Scale, taking place July 14 and 15 in Menlo Park.

This year, we are moving beyond generative AI to autonomous agents, focusing on enterprise agentic orchestration, LLM observability and evaluation (LLMOps), RAG infrastructure, inference platforms and optimization, and agentic AI security and identity.

We’re on the hunt for the 10 most innovative autonomous agent technologies poised to redefine the enterprise. If you have built agents that can reason, plan and execute complex workflows independently to drive real business value, we want to see you on our main stage.

Innovators chosen to present at VB Transform 2026 will have the opportunity to share their tech to an audience of hundreds of AI industry decision-makers. You’ll receive direct, live feedback from a curated panel of enterprise tech thought leaders. 

Beyond the stage, every presenter receives exclusive editorial coverage from VentureBeat, positioning your agentic AI technology in front of our millions of monthly readers.

Who should apply?

We are looking for dynamic companies with compelling agentic AI technologies that are ready for prime time. Whether you are building specialized autonomous agents to support workers or the orchestration layers that manage AI agents, we want to hear your story.

We will select up to 10 candidates across two tracks: up to five seed to early-stage Series A (raised $50M or less) and up to five Series B or later startups, or units within mature, large companies (raised/allocated more than $50M).

If you have a product that delivers tangible enterprise results and a vision for the future of autonomous work, don't miss this opportunity. Application deadline: June 1, 2026, at 5 p.m. PT.
