New Trajectories: How External R&D Priorities Are Reshaping and Expanding the Aerospace Ecosystem

Part of the Industry Perspectives Series, hosted by CU Boulder's Industry Research Partnerships (IRP) team. This presentation offers CU Boulder researchers an outside-in look at the changing external landscape of aerospace. We will explore key market shifts across the broader ecosystem and demonstrate how non-traditional sectors—from energy and quantum computing to advanced materials and climate tech—are actively seeking aerospace innovations. Learn how corporate R&D strategies are evolving and where your lab’s core research can align with emerging external funding opportunities and industry partnerships.
