Aerialoop \u2013 Miami, FL, USA<\/strong>
\nAerialoop\u2019s drones streamline deliveries by creating efficient middle-mile networks between warehouses and stores, enabling faster and more affordable shipping.<\/p>\n

Crover \u2013 Edinburgh, Scotland, UK\u00a0<\/strong>
\nCrover develops uncrewed vehicles\/systems that can \u201cswim\u201d through grains and powders to monitor and manage grain storage more accurately, helping operators reduce losses, improve quality, and ensure better safety.<\/p>\n

Flyhound \u2013 New York, NY, USA\u00a0<\/strong>
\nFlyhound helps public safety agencies save lives by locating and identifying people fast in emergencies using their existing drone.<\/p>\n

INVOLI \u2013 Lausanne, Switzerland<\/strong>
\nINVOLI provides innovative, cost-effective surveillance solutions for low-altitude airspace, enhancing safety and operational efficiency for drone operators, small airports, and infrastructure managers.<\/p>\n

The Central New York and Mohawk Valley regions have solidified their standing as the nation\u2019s premier destination for uncrewed systems businesses. Thanks to New York state\u2019s targeted investments in infrastructure, like the FAA-designated NY UAS Test Site at Griffiss Airport ($56 million) and the ongoing expansion of CenterState CEO\u2019s Tech Garden in downtown Syracuse ($16.6 million), Central New York is rapidly becoming a global center for UAS innovation and economic growth.<\/p>\n

In 2023, the state continued its leadership in Advanced Air Mobility (AAM) by funding the NUAIR Center of Excellence for AAM with a $21 million grant at Syracuse International Airport. The NUAIR site now offers 240 square miles of beyond visual line of sight (BVLOS) airspace for testing and commercial UAS operations, blending controlled and uncontrolled airspace across urban and rural environments.<\/p>\n

The event\u2019s judges include experts from across the startup and UAS sector, including Mariah Murray, VP of Operations at AVSS; Kevin May, VP of Engineering at Hidden Level; Jennifer Tegan, Managing Director at New York Ventures; Pete Mathias, Principle at Alumni Ventures; Chuck Green, President of AIS; and Somak Chattopadhyay, Managing Partner at Armory Square Ventures.<\/p>\n
