“We have worked incredibly hard to be leaders of innovation in our
industry, and I believe that the results we have driven in the past year
or so demonstrate our success. Transformative innovation would be
difficult without strong support from the local community and without
the great talent that we have been able to attract because of where we
are located, and for that we are very grateful. We at Luna Innovations
are so proud to be headquartered in the Roanoke-Blacksburg region,” said
Scott Graeff, President and CEO of Luna Innovations. “The entire Luna
family is honored and humbled.”
