StartUp District

The StartUp District at tise offers a transformative opportunity for emerging innovators in the floor covering, stone, and tile industries. This exclusive program is specifically designed for first-time exhibitors or those who have not exhibited at tise within the past 5 years.

Selected participants receive far more than just exhibit space – they gain a comprehensive launch platform that includes premium placement in a high-traffic location, dedicated press coverage, social media promotion, inclusion in pre-show emails, lead generation tools, and are highlighted in the floor plan and online directory. This carefully curated opportunity puts emerging brands in the spotlight, creating valuable connections with industry professionals and decision-makers that can accelerate your business growth.

Why StartUp District?

Transform your market entry from a quiet launch to a grand industry debut. Previous participants have reported accelerated business growth, secured major distribution deals, and established lasting industry partnerships – all from their three days at tise.

Don't let your groundbreaking innovation remain undiscovered. Join the elite group of emerging brands that will shape the future of the surface industry.
