Join us for an energizing and forward-looking conversation with Zoe Karabinus, Program Director and Shelby Mastovich-Gruber, Director of Strategic Engagement with the Keystone Space collaboratibe. This webinar is designed specifically for those who want to understand where the next wave of opportunity is coming from and how to be part of it.

The Keystone Space Collaborative is helping shape a rapidly growing sector that’s no longer confined to rockets and launchpads. Space is now a critical driver of innovation across manufacturing, technology, communications, health, safety, and global infrastructure.

And the opportunity is massive.

The global space economy already exceeds $469 billion—and is projected to surpass $1 trillion in the next decade.

In this session, you’ll learn:
• How the tri-state region is emerging as a key hub for space innovation and manufacturing
• Why space is becoming a central force in global industry—and what that means for your business
• Where manufacturing capabilities intersect with space technologies and supply chains
• How women leaders can position themselves and their organizations to take advantage of this growth

Rooted in Pennsylvania and built with a tri-state mission, Keystone Space Collaborative acts as the “keystone”—connecting industries, capabilities, and innovation across the region to accelerate growth in the space economy.

This isn’t theoretical. It’s happening now and manufacturing is at the center of it.

If you’re looking to stay ahead of where your industry is going, this is a conversation you don’t want to miss.
The Keystone Space Collaborative is a nonprofit organization with a mission to support and serve the growing space industry in Ohio, Pennsylvania and West Virginia, and to attract and expand the next generation of space industry businesses and talent in the Tri-State region. Our goal is to make commercial space opportunities accessible for all who want to engage in realizing the immense potential that commercial space represents for the nation and humankind.

We can't wait to see you there!
