Three leading launch companies in the world came to the gathering: "Arian Spaces", "Space Florida", "Spaceplane". Space Florida has been around for more than 50 years and is one of the oldest launch companies in the world. The company came to the space conference in Israel with the aim of looking for new customers and investors. The company is interested in promoting cooperation with Israeli R&D companies and is looking for new start-up companies in the fields of miniaturization, propulsion, infrastructure and more. Among the participants in the signing were also the managers of Enterprise Florida - a government company for economic development in Florida.
Another interesting detail is that the company is in talks with NASA to launch the government launches from the Florida launch base. The head of NASA stated that the US will return to launch from its shores in about two years. Today, the various government launches are carried out from the lands of Eastern Europe.

Kudos to the Ministry of Science. In my opinion, just as they build a cyber center in Be'er Sheva, a space center can also be built. Maybe in Mitzvah Ramon?
