Florida Space Industry: The Future of the Space Industry Ecosystem

Koki Danno | JETRO Atlanta

I’m pleased to share JETRO’s latest report on Florida’s rapidly growing space industry and innovation ecosystem. Florida is strengthening its position not only as a launch hub, but also as a center for investment, entrepreneurship, and commercial space development. We hope this report will serve as a useful resource for Japanese companies and organizations interested in opportunities in the U.S. space sector.

I would like to express my sincere gratitude to Dr. Melissa Patton for sharing her valuable insights and expertise through our interview. I would also like to recognize Space Grove Ventures for its leadership in supporting innovation and entrepreneurship within Florida’s space ecosystem.
