For this out-of-space edition of El Paso Prime Time, host Richard Dayoub from Thunderbird Management welcomes the Executive Director of the Texas Space Coalition, Mike Pryor, to talk about the developments that space technology has brought to the Sun City. Executive Director Pryor also speaks about what the Space Coalition is doing to bring the local talent back from foreign companies and their intent to retain the labor force that graduates from UTEP.
The Texas Space Coalition is dedicated to making Texas the global leader in space innovation. They focus on uniting industry, academia, and government to drive economic development, ignite cutting-edge research, and accelerate workforce development to retain top-tier aerospace talent. The most recent development that united different entities under one roof was the Space Tech El Paso event last Fall, which focused on space technology, advances, and the future of the space economy in our city.
