SYRACUSE — Those interested in participating in this year’s 9th round of the Genius NY program have until late May to submit an application for consideration to be involved in the yearlong competition.
Genius NY — operated by CenterState CEO in Syracuse — is described as the world’s largest business accelerator focused on uncrewed aerial systems (UAS), Empire State Development (ESD) announced Jan. 9.
Genius NY stands for Growing ENtrepreneurs & Innovators in UpState New York.
Interested tech startups focused on uncrewed aerial systems, automation, and advanced air mobility (AAM) can apply at geniusny.com/applynow through May 28. Subsets may include precision and remote sensing, smart city applications, data collection and analytics, guidance or communication systems, and sensors, among other technological categories.
Genius NY participants are required to operate their business in Central New York for at least one year. The program is funded through the CNY Rising Upstate Revitalization Initiative (URI), the region’s strategic plan to generate economic growth and community development.
The in-residence accelerator will invest more than $3 million in five finalist companies, including a $1 million grand prize awarded at a pitch finals event.
