Tech Innovation Forum

The 2022 Tech Innovation Forum brought together hundreds of attendees to learn and connect with the focus on the next industrial revolution and the role that Southern California is playing in both climate tech and space.

Michael Colglazier, CEO of Virgin Galactic kicked off the Forum discussing the future of space travel. Highlighted sessions also explored the changing face of aerospace, 5G technologies, biggest supply chain challenges, and evolving ESG standards and practices.

Due to the popular success, the Forum brought back the Startup Showcase where each of the 22 startups were given 5 minutes to pitch their idea to the investors in attendance. The Showcase was not to be outdone by our annual LaunchPad SBDC presentations, which included some of the most exciting companies to date. Not only did these companies represent a wide range of tech applications, but also included one of the most diverse groups of founders yet.

Trubify, one of the eight presenting companies and LaunchPad alumni, was one of four companies awarded Gold by Pepperdine’s Graziadio Business School Most Fundable Companies on October 13, 2022. More than 4,000 companies throughout the US competed for the win; the diligence process was extremely intense.
