THE HIGH DESERT DISCOVERY DISTRICT (HD3) is New Mexico’s first startup accelerator founded in late 2010 to commercialize and bring to market technology projects and to grow promising, highly-disruptive startups throughout New Mexico. We partner with the state’s R&D institutions, universities, industry trade groups, economic development groups and others to identify scientific, technological and manufacturing projects that can be matured into high-growth companies that generate wealth, jobs and future opportunity.
