Building the Future of Space and Manufacturing: Space Jobs USA Alliance
As the global space economy rapidly expands, regions that were once industrial powerhouses are finding new opportunities to reinvent themselves. The Space Jobs USA Alliance aims to lead this transformation, particularly in Ohio and across the Rust Belt, by fostering a vibrant space industry ecosystem that will create thousands of high-paying jobs and secure long-term economic growth.
Why Ohio and the Rust Belt?
Ohio, with its rich industrial heritage and strategic location, is uniquely positioned to become a leader in the space sector. The state’s proximity to critical aerospace hubs like Wright-Patterson Air Force Base and NASA’s Glenn Research Center, coupled with its extensive transportation networks, provides the perfect foundation for attracting space-related companies. With a skilled workforce capable of transitioning from traditional manufacturing to space and advanced tech industries, Ohio and the broader Rust Belt are ready to rise as centers for space innovation.
The Space Jobs USA Alliance
The Space Jobs USA Alliance is a coalition of industry leaders, educators, policymakers, and economic development groups working together to make Ohio and the Rust Belt a national hub for space manufacturing. Our mission is to save 25,000 manufacturing jobs in Ohio while creating an additional 25,000 high-paying jobs in space-related industries across the Rust Belt by 2030.
The Alliance focuses on three key pillars:
- Attract: We work to bring space companies and investors to Ohio by showcasing the state’s strategic advantages and offering strong incentives.
- Inspire: We aim to inspire the next generation to pursue careers in the space sector through public engagement, educational programs, and workforce development initiatives.
- Support: We help companies—both in the space industry and traditional sectors—transition into this new economy by providing resources, connections, and logistical support.
The White Paper: A Roadmap for Growth
To guide our efforts, we’ve developed a comprehensive white paper that outlines the Space Jobs USA Alliance’s strategies for revitalizing Ohio’s manufacturing sector and expanding the space industry throughout the Rust Belt. The white paper provides a blueprint for how local governments, educational institutions, and private industry can collaborate to turn Ohio into a national leader in space technology and advanced manufacturing.
In it, you’ll find detailed insights on:
- The benefits of Ohio’s central location and its unparalleled transportation infrastructure.
- How space manufacturing will drive job creation and economic stability in regions hardest hit by industrial decline.
- The role of workforce development and how vocational schools, universities, and training programs will prepare workers for the space industry.
Join Us in Building the Future
We’re calling on industry leaders, educators, investors, and policymakers to join us in this bold initiative. The future of space exploration and advanced manufacturing holds enormous potential—not just for Ohio, but for the entire Rust Belt. Together, we can save manufacturing jobs, create new opportunities, and ensure that the heart of America becomes a hub for space innovation.
