In 2023, space technology and innovation experts from across the Tri-State Region (OH, PA and WV) and country gathered today to unveil the master vision planning process for the establishment of a Space and Defense Innovation District in Pittsburgh’s North Side. The Keystone Space and Defense Innovation District (the “District”), anchored by Astrobotic, Keystone Space, and the AFWERX/SpaceWERX Pittsburgh Innovation Hub, will be a space and defense innovation industry cluster that will serve as a regional economic development enabler connecting North Side educational, entertainment and retail assets with the broader Manchester and Chateau communities of Pittsburgh.
