Congratulations to Youngstown-based Agilis Air on being selected for the $1 billion Drone Dominance Program!

As a portfolio company of the Youngstown Business Incubator (YBI), Agilis Air outperformed dozens of competitors from around the world, earning its place among a select group of companies advancing through the program.

This qualification positions Agilis Air for future production and contracting opportunities with the federal government and highlights the innovation and advanced technology being developed right here in Youngstown.

We’re proud to see another local company making an impact on the national stage.

Built from the ground up for low-cost, scalable mass production without special tooling, the Remora UAV leverages a 100% domestic supply chain in Northeast Ohio. Backed by regional manufacturing hubs, the leadership team aims to close the national security gap in global drone development.
