Pushing the Boundaries of Aerospace Technology
MOHAI’s 14th annual Innovation Exchange “Pushing the Boundaries of Aerospace Technology”, held on April 20, 2023, presented an extraordinary program featuring thought leaders from our community. Innovation Exchange celebrates leaders and organizations that embody our region’s spirit of innovation and drive the advancement of science, technology, and industry.
