About Space Florida

It all began with a rocket launch in 1950. And the brightest minds, biggest ideas, and most innovative ventures have been coming here ever since. While it may have started on the Space Coast, now all of Florida is pushing the envelope and breaking boundaries to claim many firsts in aerospace.

Vision

Florida is the leading global and interplanetary center for sustainable aerospace commerce.

Mission Areas

  • Increase Investment Activity in Florida’s Aerospace Ecosystem

  • Maximize Capacity and Capability of Florida’s Spaceport System

  • Create Solutions to the Toughest Aerospace Challenges and Accelerate Innovation in Commercial Aerospace Innovation 

  • Sustained Business Operations 

In 2006, three of Florida’s existing state space entities combined to form Space Florida as a public corporation and innovation connector. A unique state statute was enacted that opened the door to more creative financing options and infrastructure access – making aerospace ventures much easier to launch. This attracted even more aerospace activity to the region. And every new deal brought new ideas and broader experience to the Space Florida community.

Today, Space Florida offers leading aerospace companies unrivaled experience, unmatched financial tools, and an unbeatable location for their new initiatives. World-class companies ranging from Northrop Grumman to Blue Origin to EVE Air Mobility have all built long-term relationships with Space Florida.
