2023 Partnering with NASA

2023 Partnering with NASA

What does it mean to “partner” with NASA? And what can it do for my business?

NASA offers 60 years of experience in advanced engineering and testing capabilities, cutting edge research and technology development, as well as unique assets such as land, facilities and laboratories for use by commercial industries, academic institutions, U.S. Government agencies and international entities.

Representatives from Marshall Space Flight Center will tell us about what they have to offer their partners, AND representatives from local businesses that have successfully partnered with Marshall will be on hand to discuss how they managed the partnership and how it benefited their business.
