Invertix Corporation is known throughout Southern New Mexico as a technology innovator and key engineering partner with NMSU’s Physical Sciences Laboratory. This past Thursday, Invertix Corporation raised its public profile by participating as a panelist in the Mesilla Valley Economic Development Alliance’s (MVEDA) annual Regional Economic Development Forum at the Las Cruces Convention Center. This year’s event focused on transitioning the local economy to one that is technology-based in order to drive economic development across the entire region and on the resources necessary to develop a stronger technology-based economy.
Invertix VP Peter Kane sat on the panel which included representation from several Borderplex based companies including Sapphire Energy and Delphi. Kane provided unique insight to the challenge that the economy is facing, using Invertix Corporation’s headquarters in the Washington, D.C. region and their long-standing presence in Las Cruces as a unique example. “Invertix sees that there are significant challenges ahead for the Mesilla Valley as agriculture begins to take a back seat to the economic change that is already taking place. We see a rare opportunity for our organization and others who are appropriately situated to be able to leverage our skill sets, thought-leadership and other resources to help this change come to fruition sooner, rather than later.”
The forum provided case studies on communities that have been successful in diversifying their economy through the development of technology-based industries, blended with panels from leading critical component professionals and technology-based industries from the region. MVEDA CEO Davin Lopez added, “Invertix has a very unique connection to the community and has been doing work in Las Cruces for some time which gives them a unique perspective on both the opportunities and challenges of growing the high-tech industry in our region. Their input provides us with insight and a roadmap on how we can accommodate their future growth and attracting other high tech companies to Las Cruces.”
