This is Derek Miller, Speaking on Business. Utah is emerging as a national hub for aerospace, defense and advanced manufacturing. This October, 47G will showcase that momentum during Hard Tech Week, bringing together the people and companies building the future. Here to share more is 47G President and CEO Aaron Starks.
Aaron Starks:
Why hard tech, and why now? Because talent, technology, capital and urgency are coming together to accelerate innovation across America, and Utah is uniquely positioned to lead.
Hard Tech Week is where deep science and engineering become tangible solutions. Think advanced aircraft, defense systems, new materials and manufacturing technologies — innovations that strengthen our economy and our national security.
Hard Tech Week will bring that work to life across Utah through live demonstrations, facility showcases and industry events. Companies, investors and leaders will come together to see what’s being built, make meaningful connections and help accelerate the next generation of innovation.
Anchoring the week is 47G’s flagship Zero Gravity Summit, October 28 and 29.
Utah has the talent, companies and collaborative spirit to shape the future of hard tech. Hard Tech Week is our opportunity to show the nation what’s happening here, and why this is Utah’s moment.
