Blacksburg, VA – May 16, 2008 – Listed among a competitive group of rapidly growing technology companies in Roanoke and the New River Valley, TORC Technologies won the prestigious Rising Star award. This is awarded annually to “a local technology company which…may not be a household name yet, but it could soon be another local success story in the NewVA region.”
Key criteria that pushed TORC above the other nominees were its rapid year-over-year growth since its founding in 2005, its cutting edge products and services, and the future economic impact TORC will have on the region.
TORC would like to thank Bob Summers of nanoCom Corporation for the nomination, as well as its extremely dedicated and hard working employees for allowing TORC to have accomplished so much in the emerging field of unmanned and autonomous robotic systems.
