Aerospace Industry Brings Economic and Educational Opportunity to Colorado

The Colorado Space Business Roundtable (CSBR) is conducting an Aerospace Business Development Road Trip throughout western Colorado. CSBR is traveling to four communities to share how the aerospace industry benefits every community in Colorado.

     Opportunity:    Attendees and media have the opportunity to hear CSBR share
                      why aerospace matters to Colorado communities, how local
                      businesses can become aerospace suppliers and learn more
                      about educational aerospace programs for students. Interviews
                      are available upon request the day of the event. Media are
                      invited to any and all events.

     Background:     As the aerospace industry in Colorado continues to grow, CSBR
                      is committed to spreading knowledge of the industry's
                      positive local impact, highlighting opportunities for
                      Colorado suppliers to get involved and providing STEM
                      opportunities for students and educators. It spreads this
                      message through frequent roundtable discussions with Colorado
                      stakeholders and road trips around the state.




                    This year's July 8 - 11 road trip will travel to Meeker,
                      Rangeley, Grand Junction and Snowmass Village. Local partners
                      include CLUB 20, AGNC, Delta Chamber and CO Public Radio.
                      There will be opportunities to meet with local businesses
                      that are interested in becoming a supplier or subcontractor
                      to the larger aerospace companies such as Boeing, Lockheed
                      Martin, Sierra Nevada, United Launch Alliance and many
                      others.




                    The 2014, 2015 and 2016 road trips included programs all
                      throughout Colorado and resulted in the creation of the
                      first-ever Colorado Aerospace Internship Experience program
                      for students. Also, Lockheed Martin met one of their largest
                      suppliers WREN on this road trip. Outcomes of the road trips
                      have resulted in small businesses from around the state doing
                      business with each other.
