The goal is to create a dynamic ecosystem for the aerospace industry, with international reach and commercial opportunities. Partners benefit from increased collaboration and innovation due to the close proximity of the national space-port, companies, research institutions, and government agencies.
This environment fosters knowledge sharing, reduces costs through shared infrastructure, and attracts specialized talent. Companies can leverage each other's expertise and resources, accelerating product development and technological advancements.
Additionally, being part of a cluster enhances visibility, increases investment opportunities, and opens up access to government contracts, grants, and international markets, ultimately driving competitiveness and growth within the space sector.
