New Mexico Innovation Hub (NMIH)

The New Mexico Innovation Hub (NMIH) is a demand-driven infrastructure project that has been in development by David Perez for the last three years. The vision and plan has been shaped by over 200 ecosystem stakeholders from industry, entrepreneurs, government, elected officials, universities, state and local agencies, the Labs, investors, tribes, and non-profits.
The NMIH supports NM EDD's strategic plan to focus economic development in the target sectors of advanced computing, quantum, advanced energy/fusion, aerospace, and bioscience. Advanced manufacturing is a crucial horizontal sector that enables the growth of the above industries.
The NMIH launched January 2026 in Santa Fe Midtown campus with support of a grant from the NM EDD. Currently, 55,000 sf of existing commercial space has been leased to the NM Consortium, UNM Anderson School, 2 LEEP companies, NM Climate Investment Center, 2 fusion companies (Liberty Fusion with the PLX), a geothermal technology company, the Santa Fe Community College machinist training lab, high performance compute cluster and MIT Fab lab.
In addition, a 5 acre live/work campus is being designed at the site to develop 120,000 sf of flex lab/manufacturing and office space plus 90+ residences. This new facility is expected to open in approximately 36 months.
