Welcome to VERT BRIEF
Welcome to the updated UAS Cluster Initiative Newsletter, now known as UAS Cluster Initiative VERT BRIEF. This update will include the same content as before but in an improved and more user-friendly format. Additionally, take note that above the headers of "UPCOMING EVENTS," "POLICY," "RESEARCH," and "INDUSTRY" are links that will directly navigate you to the respective section. If you have any questions, our contact information is at the end of this newsletter.
UAS Cluster Initiative's Vertical Marketplace
At the UAS Cluster Initiative, we're continuously working to serve the membership of the emerging aerospace industry more effectively. In 2023, that meant launching two new products, Rethink Vertical podcast, and Charting the Course: Workforce Dynamics in Oklahoma's Emerging Aerospace Industry.
This year, we are building on the development of those products and working to make access to our vast array of resources more intuitively accessible.
That means, starting later this month, all resources and products will live within the Vertical Marketplace – a one stop, instinctual space for all things emerging aerospace.
Soon, you will receive an invitation to create a login to access Vertical Marketplace. You'll still get this content free of charge, but by creating this login feature, we'll be able to continue to work to create a more community-based environment that will continue to grow with us, and the industry.
You'll receive a few more reminders and helpful tips before things go live. Please let us know if you have any questions along the way. Our hope is that these changes will continue to enhance your experience.
