Challenges
• Must speak as one voice as we collectively promote and advance the region’s aerospace industry• Not in conflict w/ other jurisdictions• Less emphasis on geography and boundaries
• Take advantage of our identified clusters while developing new clusters, e.g., cyberspace
• Use our collective efforts to target the right set of companies and entrepreneurs
• Establish “playground” clusters by combining intellectual capital from universities, WPAFB, industry, intermediaries…• STEM campus• Globally collaborate to tackle technology challenges; e.g., cognitive
sciences…• Tie into WBI, CUE, Tech Town equities to work UAS and other challenges
• How can the Hub and potential partners collaborate and partner to provide innovative, creative technology solutions in a dynamic live, work, play, learn environment?
SummarySummary
