Recap of the Startup Spaceport Happy Hour
A few months ago, Councilmember Ed Gonzalez asked a great question: what if we could bring the people working on the Ellington Spaceport together with the Houston startup community? I was honored to help organize a happy hour to do just that.
Mario Diaz, the Director of the Houston Airport System, gave a short presentation of the opportunities that the Ellington Spaceport will crack open. I’m not going to give you a full rundown. We have reporters for that:
- Business incubator, co-working space to launch at Houston’s spaceport (Houston Business Journal)
- New Frontiers: Space Tech Ecosystem Begins to Grow Around Spaceport (Xconomy)
You can watch the video he showed here:
Here area few pictures from the event:
