innovationIOWA Story Pitches

The Business Record is looking ahead at our 2026 innovationIOWA Magazine, and we’d like your help.

Do you know of innovative people, companies or places in the state that should be highlighted?

Who is working on breakthrough technology and innovations? We're interested in stories about risk capital, investors, startups, entrepreneurs, education and STEM. We want to know about innovation in corporate, nonprofit and government settings.

Take our survey and please remember to include contact information - there’s a chance we may reach out in the next few months.
