Big opportunities are not reserved for big cities, and this month's newsletter makes that case clearly. On July 27, CEDO represented Lane County alongside Business Oregon at the Oregon Manufacturing Innovation Center in Scappoose, where a delegation of Korean government officials and seven drone manufacturers presented technology and sought trusted American partners. With Lane Community College operating one of the region's established drone training programs and strong connections to the Oregon UAS Accelerator, Lane County has a real hand to play in this emerging market. Closer to home, Veneta launched its new "Explore. Enjoy. Engage." brand identity, turning pass-through traffic into an invitation to experience the Fern Ridge area. And planning is underway for the October 10 World Class Industries Tailgate ahead of Ducks vs. UCLA, with sponsorship opportunities open now for organizations that want to be in the room where Lane County's next connections get made.
