The eight companies selected to give an in-person pitch at the UAS Summit &amp; Expo are:<ul><li>Aerialvantage</li><li>Censys Technologies</li><li>PteroDynamics</li><li>MightyFly</li><li>Kirkwall</li><li>Fenworks</li><li>Valqari</li><li>Vertipads, Inc.</li></ul>&nbsp;"We had a ton of interest in the UAS Summit Pitch Day event from both startups and investors,” said Craig Mahaney, executive director at the UAS Angel Network. “Selection was tough, but I think the companies selected to pitch are diverse in both market appeal and funding cycle timing." The Summit, taking place in the original epicenter of drone research, offers the most open airspace in the country. The Northern Plains has become the “Silicon Valley of Drones” and the sky is now filled with activity from commercial, government and military users. "In the Grand Forks region, we believe in the power of collaboration and innovation to drive economic growth," said Bill Adams, UAS Development Officer at the Grand Forks Region Economic Development Corporation. "The UAS Summit Pitch event embodies these principles, bringing together visionaries, investors, and industry leaders to pave the way bringing the future of UAS here, now."
