New Tech

Our official 20th birthday is in February. But anniversaries are like fireworks: better when you don't wait for the scheduled show. So on Thursday, November 5, we're starting the celebration a few months early, with a stellar presenter lineup that runs from orbit to orchards. Featuring presentations from: ElevationXR: Worlds You Step Inside ElevationXR builds modular immersive domes, from a 150-guest VIP space to a 1,500-capacity live venue. Its flagship, Elevation Sky Park SF at Pier 70, opens March 1, 2027. Farmblox: The Building Blocks of Farm Automation Farmblox began by finding leaks in New England maple sap lines and now monitors California farms from its Santa Cruz headquarters. Santa Cruz Ventures recently added it to its portfolio. g-SPACE: Turning Off Gravity Former NASA physicist Ioana Cozmuta built a platform that predicts whether a manufacturing process will improve in microgravity, before a company launches anything. g-SPACE is the reigning Startup World Cup Santa Cruz Regional champion. Printed Living: Homes Built to Survive Fire Printed Living robotically prints noncombustible concrete walls for homes, ADUs, and fire rebuilds. In a county still rebuilding from the CZU fire, that pitch hits home.
