Spread Your Wings
Whether you're one of the nation's blue-chip defense contractors, a start-up or a local machine-tooling company, strap yourself in. We've helped Georgia firms become integral parts of the U.S. Air Force's powerful supply chain, provided grants to create new technology insertion programs, deployed research expertise to solve questions of national power, delivered worker training programs to our growing MRO business sector, and directed federal purchasing toward our hardworking non-aerospace businesses in the state.
Focused on Growth
The Center focuses its work on the key growth drivers for the aerospace industry:
People
People make the difference between mission success and failure. Georgia has a special responsibility to the aerospace industry to ensure a highly-skilled workforce is ready to meet the industry's ever-evolving needs. We work on a regional basis with educators and industry partners to expose young people to the variety of exciting careers that await them in the aviation and aerospace arenas.
Technology
Technology is why Georgia's aerospace products are among the leading U.S. exports throughout the world. The aerospace research and development assets of the state are a gold mine of ideas and opportunities - from repairing planes more quickly to developing planes that fly themselves. We work with large and small companies to push the boundaries of science and flight.
Companies
Companies are the engines of growth and innovation that create jobs and absorb our talent. Understanding the technologies and special requirements of aerospace companies, whether starting up in Georgia or expanding abroad, is our business. We give Georgia the expertise to “talk turkey with the eagles.” Our team ensures leading-edge aerospace companies have a future in Georgia.
