America’s Space Economy is Booming – We’ll Help Give You a Strategy to Be Part of it

The Space Economy is one of the most exciting opportunities in the United States and globally, with most predicting it to be a $1-trillion business within a decade. CityAge is launching ORBIT, to bring together leaders who are building — or want to build — the space economy here on the ground.

We’ll be taking a deep dive into the opportunities President Donald Trump’s Executive Order on space investment opens up. You’ll get strategies to build or expand regional and city space economies here on the ground. Many are still overlooking the emerging opportunities in development, education, manufacturing, infrastructure, and more.

At ORBIT you will join the CityAge 30K network of business and government leaders, and meet some of the visionaries, business and government executives building America’s space future. CityAge is also proudly working with the Fairfax County Economic Development Authority, our title knowledge partners for ORBIT.
