“The 2017 UAS Summit, again will demonstrate the outstanding work completed by North Dakota’s leadership to establish the state as a leader in the UAS industry,” says Dr. Delore Zimmerman, executive director at the Red River Valley Research Corridor. “Similar to last year, the companies who will be represented at the Summit are quickly becoming recognized as the first significantly successful players in the commercialization of the UAS industry.”
