About Optics Valley and The Magazine
Optics Valley is the Tucson Metro Area’s globally recognized community of innovators developing enabling technologies for aerospace, defense, healthcare, energy, communications, and space.
Optics Valley Magazine tells the stories of the entrepreneurs, researchers, innovators, and supply-chain leaders behind that work. Through their experiences, we learn from one another and make the region’s capabilities easier to discover.
