Innovation, opportunity, and economic empowerment were on full display during USBC President & CEO Ron Busby's recent visit to Florida's Space Coast.
From touring Boeing's facility and viewing a critical component being prepared for the Artemis III mission to engaging in meaningful discussions on expanding access to aerospace and technology industries, this visit highlighted the importance of connecting Black-owned businesses to the industries shaping our future.
Ron also joined an exclusive panel discussion with leaders from across Florida and received a private tour of Eastern Florida State College's new Aerospace Center of Excellence, where the next generation of talent will be trained for careers in one of the nation's fastest-growing sectors.
Thank you to the Space Coast Black Chamber of Commerce, Eastern Florida State College, Boeing, NASA representatives, and our local partners for fostering collaboration, innovation, and pathways to economic opportunity.
The future is being built today—and Black businesses must have a seat at the table.
