Last week marked an exciting and pivotal moment in the aerospace and defense industry in Utah as industry leaders, academic partners, and state officials gathered at the Delta Hangar to unveil the new name and vision for the Utah Aerospace & Defense Association – 47G. Their new brand identity represents the unquenchable ambition that propels us into the future — going where no human has ever gone before. Wasatch Container, Utah’s premier Aerospace & Defense Packaging Manufacturer, was proud to be a part of this historic event.
From UADA to 47G: A New Vision Takes Flight
The rebranding event was a monumental occasion where the Utah Aerospace & Defense Association officially transformed into 47G. This change signifies not just a new name, but a bold new vision for the future of aerospace. At 47G, the aim is to create the world’s premier ecosystem for this industry, fostering talent, funding entrepreneurship, and fueling innovation.
A Glimpse of the Event
The event was graced by distinguished speakers, including Governor Spencer Cox and Congressman Chris Stewart, who highlighted the significance of Utah’s dedication to bolstering job opportunities and increasing access to capital for the advancement of national security and technology.
Governor Cox emphasized how Utah’s aerospace and defense industry is not only a source of pride but also a cornerstone of the state’s economy. By supporting initiatives like 47G, Utah aims to strengthen its position as a hub for innovation and technological advancement.
Congressman Stewart further emphasized the role of 47G in driving the state’s aerospace and defense industry forward. He noted that the organization’s mission aligns perfectly with the nation’s need for robust national security and cutting-edge technological solutions.
