Colorado, renowned as the second-largest state for aerospace businesses in the United States, serves as the perfect backdrop for this exciting event. With a roster of industry giants such as Boeing, Lockheed Martin, Ball, and Sierra Space Systems calling Colorado home for major operations, it is a hub for innovation and cutting-edge companies. The state also boasts a strong presence of government aerospace entities, including the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD), Space Force Command Headquarters, Buckley Space Force Base, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), Colorado Air and Spaceport, and universities known for their aerospace excellence.

The RVC Aerospace Investing Signature Event is a testament to the thriving aerospace ecosystem in Colorado.
