It's Demo Day in San Diego.
That's an annual competition put on by EvoNexus, a startup incubator. Eight founders with promising ideas will pitch their companies to the region's startup community.
The companies at Demo Day are just starting out, but they're part of what San Diego business leaders and politicians like to tout as the region’s “innovation economy.” A report last year from the group CONNECT found one-quarter of the county’s economic activity comes from those high-tech companies. And more than 400 new startups are created here every year.
