The 2024 Aerospace Outlook, Part 2 is brought to you by SC Competes. They are a statewide, business-led, non-profit organization that works to improve the long-term competitiveness of South Carolina. Aerospace is just one of the established industry clusters they support. Another is Logistics. Recently, we aired the Logistics Economic Impact Study, which was commissioned by SC Competes and presented by Dr. Joey Von Nessen, a highly renowned research economist at the Darla Moore School of Business.  

South Carolina’s aerospace industry isn’t just about the Boeing 787 manufactured in N. Charleston or the Greenville-built F16. The industry has evolved into one of the state’s most dynamic sectors with an annual economic impact of more than $28 billion. There's a lot to discuss. 

Part 2 is moderated by Stephen Astemborski, director of aerospace initiatives for SC Competes. Guests are Steve Prout, president, Southeast, at Solar Atmospheres and Jason Marlin, CEO at Champion Aerospace.
