A Hotspot For Aviation and Aerospace

In Daytona Beach, you’ll find the world’s leading aviation and aerospace university, Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University, one of the nation’s most user-friendly international airports and five smaller airports serving general and corporate aviation.

Volusia County’s proximity to the Space Coast is of particular interest to spaceflight contractors, and Florida offers sales and use tax exemptions on maintenance and repair of aircraft; equipment used in aircraft repair and maintenance; sale or lease of fixed-wing aircraft; and commercial space activity.

Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University

Embry-Riddle produces more than 25% of the nation’s commercial pilots and is at the leading edge of research relative to avionics, simulation, aviation physiology, air traffic control, aviation-related cybersecurity, and more. It is conducting extensive research on the NextGen air traffic control system in collaboration with the FAA. Its flightline flanks Daytona Beach International Airport, which has the distinction of being a “teaching airport” in collaboration with Embry-Riddle. The university offers undergraduate, masters, and doctoral degrees in various disciplines of aviation, aerospace, and engineering.

MicaPlex

The MicaPlex, the cornerstone building of the Research Park at Embry-Riddle in Daytona Beach, Florida presents a unique collaborative opportunity for business and the university community to develop, refine and bring new products and technological services to market.

Start-up companies have a tremendous advantage when there is a network of support to shepherd them through the stages of product/service development toward market readiness. As an incubator space, the facilities and occupants of the MicaPlex will provide such a network which extends to the University, not only at the Daytona Beach Campus but to resources on the Prescott, Arizona, campus and the extensive network that is the Worldwide Campus.
