Navitas Semiconductor hosted a significant meeting of the Torrance Tech Committee at its headquarters, highlighting Torrance's role as a burgeoning tech hub. The committee, established by the city's Office of Economic Development two years ago, serves as a platform for local tech companies to connect, share insights, and foster collaboration.
During the meeting, representatives from various sectors, including hardware, software, aerospace, defense, advanced manufacturing, life sciences, and biotech, discussed their contributions to the community. EPRIS, a high-power microwave company based in Torrance, shared its journey since 2018, emphasizing its focus on developing advanced defense systems and commercial electronic technologies. With around 180 employees, EPRIS has benefited from the networking opportunities provided by the tech committee, allowing them to connect with other local businesses.
Participants expressed appreciation for the committee's role in facilitating collaboration and networking, which they believe enhances both economic and cultural impacts in Torrance. The meetings have led to valuable connections, enabling companies to discover potential customers and suppliers within the community.
