   Austin, Texas  --  The Austin Chamber of Commerce has announced the addition of the Space Technology & Exploration industry for future economic development.

Announced at the Chamber's annual meeting, the new initiative is a five-county economic development program spearheaded by its Opportunity Austin effort.

The group believes that commercial space exploration will be a potential significant driver of diversity of business in the region and create additional opportunities for other sectors such as energy, medicine and cloud technology.

A number of local community leaders have also formed the Greater Austin Space Economy Task Force to further explore the potential for a space economy in the central Texas region.

Separately, the McCombs School of Business at the University Of Texas at Austin will be launching a Masters degree program in Space Entrepreneurship beginning in May of this year.
