Space Florida
Space Florida is the state’s aerospace finance and development authority. Space Florida is where leading aerospace companies get everything they need to see their new ideas take off. All the aerospace communities want your business and say they can help. But it takes more than tax incentives, some quick cash, and a ribbon cutting to really get a new idea off the ground and ensure sustainable, long-term growth. In Florida businesses can take their place in the new space economy, or any other aerospace market, with direct access to established infrastructure, a skilled workforce, and an environment built for innovation. And only Space Florida brings unrivaled experience, unmatched financial tools, and an unbeatable location to the table.
