Q Station recently announced it is expanding operations to North Dakota thanks to a $4 million appropriation secured by Sen. John Hoeven, R-ND, in the 2026 Defense Appropriations Act. Q Station will use its proven innovation model to help grow the region’s UAS ecosystem, similar to the work it’s done to advance New Mexico’s space ecosystem.

The expansion marks a significant step in Q Station’s strategy to build         interconnected innovation hubs aligned with national defense priorities. By replicating our collaborative approach, Q Station will support startup acceleration, facilitate industry–military matchmaking, and help companies navigate pathways to federal partnership and technology transition.

​​

We will also provide programming for startups and others in the UAS ecosystem at The Hive in downtown Grand Forks. The Hive is a collaboration facility similar to Q Station’s facility in Albuquerque and is run by GrandSky Technology Park.

​

Stay tuned for additional details in the coming weeks!
