The Broader Aerospace Ecosystem

Kentucky's role in the space economy starts with the capabilities we already have.

From advanced manufacturing and research to workforce development and entrepreneurship, Kentucky already has many of the building blocks needed to participate in the expanding global space economy.

Zach Morgan, Director of Workforce Development at the Kentucky Association of Manufacturers, will take part in “The Broader Kentucky Aerospace Ecosystem”, an afternoon panel examining Kentucky's existing assets, capabilities and opportunities.

Panel:

The discussion will explore the connections between:

  • Aerospace and advanced manufacturing

  • Research and innovation

  • Entrepreneurship

  • Workforce development

  • Economic growth

The opportunity ahead is not simply about entering the space economy. It's about connecting Kentucky's existing strengths with the industries, technologies and jobs of the future.
