The North Carolina Aerospace Alliance is a recently formed coalition of aviation and aerospace companies working together to grow these industries within the state. Currently a project of the North Carolina Military Business Center, later this month it will receive its formal designation as a non-profit organization and begin operating independently of the NCMBC.

The Alliance conducts quarterly one-day meetings around the state for member companies to present their products and services and seek new customers, suppliers, and partnerships. I presented my "Introduction to the NewSpace Industry" at last quarter's meeting at Global TransPark, and several companies, especially composites manufacturers, see future business opportunities. This quarter's meeting is today, and Richard Dell is presenting Team STELLAR as part of our ongoing engagement of North Carolina companies.
