Some Musings from FIA
With downpours mixed with a blazing sun, (a typical English summer), spread across the airfield, dozens of representatives from cities, states, and countries, from the U.K., E.U., South Korea, Arkansas, Florida, Quebec, to cities such as St. Louis, and Albany, competed to attract the best and brightest aerospace leaders to plant roots, create jobs and spur innovation in their communities.
For many, this could create a generation of prosperity or failure as they watch the next-gen economy fly by. Amidst the fierce competitiveness, I took away a hopeful reminder that when civic leaders partner with private-sector innovators, the sky is the limit.
Aerospace at its heart is an integrated, global community, a community that dreams big but also follows the math. Local civic leaders should look toward 2030, not 2025, and accelerate their efforts to attract the business community that takes us to the stars.
Booth 112 will be the place to be for all things aviation and diversity.
