Double Vision: ATDC Celebrates 40th Anniversary and 2020 Graduates
On Tuesday, October 20th, the Advanced Technology Development Center (ATDC) celebrated its 40th anniversary and eight companies that graduated from their incubator program. Aptly titled “Double Vision,” the outdoor drive-in experience doubled as a celebration of milestones achieved by both the incubator and its portfolio companies within the last 40 years.
Below are the eight graduating companies that have achieved several milestones, including an annual revenue surpassing $1 million, a scalable business model, and the ability to finance their continuing growth.
The ATDC Class of 2020

At The Springs Cinema & Taphouse parking lot, in-person attendees enjoyed live music by the house band, AT/DC, popcorn, and socially-distanced cocktails. After the premiere of ATDC’s 40th Anniversary movie honoring the graduates and milestones over the decades, a screening of the GhostBusters (1984) film concluded the night under the stars — all from the comfort and safety of their cars.
