The Space Coast Energy Consortium is a group of business and community leaders who are dedicated to driving energy-related economic development in the Space Coast and Central Florida. The Consortium grew out of the Space Coast Energy Symposium, an event that brought together leaders from throughout our community and the state of Florida to discuss ways to diversify our economic base and promote new and sustainable pathways for economic development following the end of NASA’s Space Shuttle program.
