I hate to keep droning on about this but… Oregon UAS Accelerator applications are open again

If you’re a startup working on drones or drone adjacent concepts, there’s no better place in the world to get mentorship and support for your pursuit than the Oregon UAS Accelerator in Pendleton, Oregon. And now, you have the opportunity to take part.

The Oregon UAS Innovation Challenge is not your typical accelerator. This competitive, milestone-driven experience brings together 25–30 of the brightest UAS and robotics startups, at every stage from concept to commercialization, for world-class curriculum, mentorship, and a series of competitive pitch events culminating at the Oregon UAS Innovation Showcase in Portland [Pendleton].

“Expanding our program to TRL 3+ recognizes that great innovation often starts earlier,” said Joseph Wyno, Executive Director. “By supporting a wider range of technologies, from air frames to payloads, we’re fueling Oregon’s emergence as a national hub for autonomous systems.”

Applications close on December 4, 2025.
