North Carolina isn’t just attracting aerospace and defense investment. It’s building an ecosystem to keep it growing.

From 2021–2025, North Carolina saw the largest increase in new aerospace and defense manufacturing projects of any state in the nation compared with 2016–2020.

That growth is happening across the state thanks to a deep pool of engineering talent, strong supplier networks and a powerful manufacturing base that gives companies the capabilities they need to build, innovate and scale.

Now, North Carolina is doubling down. The EDPNC is partnering with the North Carolina Department of Commerce’s NC ALIGN initiative and the North Carolina Chamber’s First in Defense coalition to bring industry, government, education and economic development partners together around the state’s aerospace and defense opportunities.
