Palm Coast Strengthens its Aerospace Presence at Satellite 2025

The City of Palm Coast further established itself as a premier location for aerospace and defense industry companies when the Palm Coast Economic Development team recently exhibited at Satellite 2025 in Washington, D.C. The city’s economic development team participated in the three-day event as part of their initiative to spotlight the benefits of Palm Coast to companies attending and exhibiting at the conference. 

Satellite 2025 is a leading global conference and exhibition for satellite and space industry manufacturers and suppliers. Held from March 10-13, the event brought together a diverse group of technology leaders, professionals, policymakers, and innovators to discuss key topics and engage with new business opportunities, insights, and the latest industry developments.

This year’s show featured over 450 exhibiting companies. Palm Coast showcased its strategic location for businesses in the aerospace and defense industry, with a focus on advanced manufacturing and R&D sectors.

Craig McKinney, Palm Coast’s Economic Development Manager, spoke highly of the event; “The connections and relationships we’ve made at this year’s exhibition have been fantastic. There is tremendous excitement about investment and job creation in Florida, and we look forward to partnering with manufacturers and suppliers considering locations in the southeast United States.” 

Palm Coast is the 9th fastest-growing city in Florida and is projected to maintain its rapid growth. Its strategic location along I-95, less than 90 minutes from the Space Coast, along with its access to top-tier talent, makes it an appealing choice for businesses looking to expand. 

With its continued growth and strategic positioning, Palm Coast is well on its way to becoming a key player in major industry sectors. By actively engaging in events like Satellite 2025, the city is showcasing its potential and fostering valuable connections that will help drive its future success. As Palm Coast strengthens its presence, it remains an attractive destination for businesses seeking to capitalize on its unique advantages and thrive in a rapidly evolving market.
