Litmys Managing Partner Harris Kaplan will participate as a panelist at the 2026 Mid-Atlantic Capital Conference, hosted by the Philadelphia Alliance for Capital and Technologies (PACT), taking place November 9–10, 2026, in Philadelphia.

The conference brings together entrepreneurs, investors, corporate leaders, and industry advisors to explore emerging technologies, investment opportunities, and strategies for accelerating innovation and growth. As one of the East Coast's leading venture capital conferences, the event provides a forum for connecting promising companies with the capital, expertise, and strategic partnerships needed to advance their innovations.

On November 10, Harris will participate in a panel discussion titled "Startup × Investor × Corporate: Reinventing the Innovation Model." The session will explore how startups, investors, and established companies can collaborate more effectively to accelerate innovation, bring new products to market, and create successful partnerships.

Drawing on more than four decades of life sciences commercialization experience, Harris will bring a perspective grounded in the importance of understanding market needs early in the innovation process. For emerging companies, identifying what customers truly value, anticipating potential adoption barriers, and incorporating commercial considerations into development decisions can help strengthen both investment opportunities and long-term market potential.

The discussion will examine how collaboration across the innovation ecosystem can help promising ideas move more efficiently from development to market, and how each participant can contribute to building stronger, more commercially viable innovations.

Harris looks forward to exchanging perspectives with fellow panelists and connecting with entrepreneurs, investors, and industry leaders throughout the conference.
