Unlike pure software startups, these companies often require longer R&amp;D timelines, complex supply chains, and physical infrastructure to scale \u2014 but they have the potential to reshape entire industries.\u201d<\/p><p>\nGigaIO was invited to demonstrate its hardware at the first ever SD Hardtech 50 Release Party, attended by founders, engineers, operators, ecosystem-builders, and a curated group of investors interested in meeting the 50 companies honored for building physical products and solving hard problems in San Diego. Said Bloom, \u201c<!-- no quote -->San Diego is uniquely suited for this moment. Long known for its strengths in biotech, defense, aerospace, semiconductors, ocean science, and energy innovation, the region is now seeing a new generation of founders reimagining how we build, move, power, and heal in the physical world.\u201d<\/p><p>\nGigaIO CEO Alan Benjamin was proud to have made the Hardtech 50 list twice in a row, noting, \u201c<!-- no quote -->We are really pleased to continue to be recognized for the great work that our team is doing to bring leading edge technology out of the datacenter and closer to where the data itself is being generated and used.
