NDSU researchers among top 2% of most cited scientists in the world

The NDSU technology incubator took us in when we were just a “mom and pop VR shop” trying to find our path forward. Having a physical presence in the incubator building these past years has connected us with a variety of state programs, expertise and support that we would never have discovered on our own. We’ve grown from the small, shared-office, husband and wife team we once were to become a team of over a dozen full time staff and affiliated partners from around the world. The NDSU Research Park has played a critical role in that success.
