# 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](https://oregonuas.org/pages/oregon-uas-innovation-challenge). And now, [you have the opportunity to take part](https://www.einpresswire.com/article/856161371/oregon-uas-innovation-challenge-opens-applications-for-2026-cohort).

> 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.
