Ecosystem Building
DART’s ecosystem-building efforts are essential to ensure that the emerging UAS and AAM sectors grow in ways that benefit all communities. We connect stakeholders and drive progress in these industries through two main pathways: Innovation and Entrepreneurship and Education and Policy.
Join us in shaping a future where innovation and collaboration drive opportunities for all. Together, we can create a thriving ecosystem that transforms the way we work, live, and connect. Learn more about membership with DART.
Innovation and Entrepreneurship
We believe in the power of innovation to transform industries and uplift local economies. DART facilitates regional collaboration to accelerate technological advancements and foster a robust entrepreneurial ecosystem. From supporting startups to enabling cross-sector partnerships, our efforts aim to support bringing cutting-edge solutions to market while creating pathways for sustained, community-centered economic growth.
Education and Policy
DART supports the intersection of education and policy to ensure that workforce development and regional strategies align with industry needs. By partnering with local educational institutions and policymakers, we promote programs like career technical education (CTE) pathways and advocate for policies that support both industry growth and equitable access to quality jobs in the innovation economy, such as Senate Bill 800 in California. This work ensures that industry and communities are united, and have the tools and resources needed to mutually benefit each other for the long term.
