NDeavor Barry D. Batcheller Tech Park

On Wednesday, June 10, we’re hosting a Drop-In Experience designed for informal networking, discovery, and conversation around agtech innovation, commercialization, emerging technologies, workforce, research, and partner engagement.

Attendees can stop by anytime from 10:00 AM–12:00 PM to explore interactive stations, connect with innovators and subject matter experts, and learn more about the resources helping move agtech ideas forward in our region.

It's Food Truck Wednesday! You can find MacDaddy's in the cul-de-sac between 11-2:00 today. Come hungry!

Do you know what parts of your idea can be protected?

As part of AgTech Week, NDeavor is hosting a Lunch + Learn with Sean Wilkerson from the United States Patent and Trademark Office focused on intellectual property basics for innovators and entrepreneurs.

This session is designed for anyone moving from idea to product and looking to better understand patents, trademarks, copyrights, trade secrets, and the role IP can play in protecting innovation.

The discussion will cover:
• An overview of common types of intellectual property
• How to identify potential IP
• Why innovators and entrepreneurs should consider protection strategies
• Local resources and assistance available

Here’s a behind-the-scenes look from last week’s inter-agency search and rescue exercise.

We were grateful for the opportunity to participate alongside National Guard members, state agencies, and emergency response partners working through real-world SAR scenarios.

For our team, the most meaningful part isn’t just seeing our technology put to the test in the field — it’s seeing how it can support people doing critical, life-safety work across North Dakota.

More to come.

Beyond the competition, what stands out most in Houston is the support surrounding the Lightning Turtles. Families, grandparents, mentors, and partners all showed up, and the pride behind this team is real.

One student shared that NDeavor’s partnership eased the stress of fundraising, giving the team more time to focus on building.

We're excited to keep cheering them on as they continue their run at the World Robotics Championship! Go, Turtles! 🐢
