Accepting the award on behalf of the company, Chief Product Officer, Kurt Glendenning, highlighted the excitement and meaningfulness of the honor as one of many on the Infinity team hailing from the area. According to Glendenning, “as someone who was born in Dayton, Ohio, raised in Vandalia, a graduate of Butler High School, and a two-time grad from Wright State University, I could not be more personally proud of this achievement and honored to accept this award on behalf of our company.” Glendenning went on to thank Infinity employees for the hard work and their families for the steadfast support stating, “they are the ones that truly give Infinity Labs its reputation and provide the backbone to enable us to realize our vision with the company.”

Infinity Labs is proud to share our vision to build a world class R&D and prototyping facility in Dayton, Ohio. As part of Infinity’s commitment to the Gem City and Ohio, the Power House will serve as a catalyst for economic growth and workforce development among census tracts in need of attention and development. As a central pillar in the vision, Infinity will build and scale local technical talent with support from many valued partners including local, regional, and state organizations, businesses, and universities. Through the help of these partners and organizations like Jobs Ohio, Infinity Labs sees an opportunity to make Dayton a national leader in community-based job training, upskilling for job growth and the reduction of economic disparities through purposeful and deliberate workforce development. Future updates on this project are forthcoming and will be available in the ‘news’ section of our website.
Below is an artistic rendering showing the future of the Power House exterior juxtaposed against the current state of the building. It’s going to be a phenomenal amount of work but is a challenge we’re passionate about pursuing.

We are excited to announce not only one but two Agility Prime Phase II awards! The first effort will focus on Urban Air Mobility for satellite communications connectivity while the second effort will focus on emerging battery technologies.
We are confident that the technologies and toolsets we’re working on to support the UAM network bring significant value-added to eVTOL primes as well as other users in both the commercial and defense sectors. In total, these awards account for nearly $1.5M in funding over a 15 month period-of-performance. As a two-time Agility Prime Phase II awardee, this is an honor we do not take lightly and remain humbled at AFWERX’s confidence in our technical understanding and approach. These awards expand the company’s R&D bonafides, infrastructure, and innovative mindset to solve the world’s hardest problems.
