Big things are happening right here in the Coulee Region. 👀🚀
After returning from CES, Visorix officially filed a patent for its Virtara camera—a major milestone for the local tech company. On top of that, their Crunchbase profile just jumped to a 92 Health Score, signaling strong momentum and growing national attention.
It’s exciting to see local innovation gaining real traction on a bigger stage—and even better knowing it’s being built right here.
We’ll be keeping an eye on what’s next for Visorix. For now, consider this a quiet but meaningful win for the Coulee Region’s growing innovation scene.
