Tech 25
These are 25 Greater Hartford tech companies identified by HBJ and CT Innovations that have
significant growth opportunities.
The List
Meet Greater
Hartford's
2022 promising
tech companies
I
n Hartford Business Journal's second
annual Tech 25 issue we've identified
25 tech companies to watch — either
because they are making moves with
new products, raising capital or have
a promising technology or drug that
could not only make lots of money but
also potentially save lives and create
new jobs.
In the pages that follow we profile
tech companies in various stages of
development. Some are just getting
started with a promising new drug
in the research-and-development
stage. Others have established
products and revenue streams and are
experiencing growth.
They represent various industries from
bioscience and technology to software
and augmented reality.
The companies were chosen with the
help of Connecticut Innovations, the
state's quasi-public venture investor,
which has a stake in many of the tech
firms on our list.
The special section is meant to
introduce readers and the broader
business community to some of the tech
companies that could make waves in the
years ahead.
Will all of them become unicorns?
Most likely, not. But if just a handful
catch fire with customers and investors
they could serve as significant future job
creators in our region.
Let us know what you think of
this section.
