Bandelier Technologies Expands in Santa Fe
The quantum sensing startup joined the first Venture Builder cohort this fall and is growing its team at the New Mexico Innovation Hub.
Updated on Nov. 10, 2026 in Quantum Computing
Bandelier Technologies, a quantum sensing and imaging company, is located at the New Mexico Innovation Hub on Santa Fe's midtown campus. The firm expanded from more than 1,400 square feet to nearly 3,000 square feet after opening earlier in 2026.
Why it matters
The expansion signals continued growth for quantum technology firms in Santa Fe, a city hosting startups that develop applications with national security implications. Participation in the Venture Builder program provides the company with structured support as it scales.
Bandelier's office space roughly doubled from more than 1,400 square feet to nearly 3,000 square feet, and it expects nearly a dozen staff members by the start of 2027. The current headcount beyond a handful of employees and the program's terms remain unspecified.
