Brevard County is home to Kennedy Space Center and Cape Canaveral Space Force Station — the epicenter of America's space industry. Known as the Space Coast, the county has experienced a dramatic economic renaissance driven by SpaceX, Blue Origin, and dozens of other aerospace companies choosing to launch from and headquarter near Florida's premier space facilities.
But Brevard is more than rockets. Florida Institute of Technology anchors a robust engineering and technology corridor. A 72-mile Atlantic coastline drives tourism and surfing culture. And the county's defense sector — anchored by Patrick Space Force Base — generates billions in military contracting and support services.
Whether your business is headquartered in Titusville or operating out of a smaller community, we serve the entire county with the same level of service.
The county's largest city and commercial hub — home to Florida Tech, Harris Corporation (now L3Harris), and a growing downtown business district.
The county's most populous city — a fast-growing residential community with expanding retail, services, and professional businesses.
The county seat and gateway to Kennedy Space Center — experiencing a massive economic boom driven by SpaceX operations and space tourism.
The iconic surf town on the Atlantic — tourism, beach businesses, restaurants, and the Port Canaveral cruise terminal.
A central Brevard community between the mainland and the barrier islands — strong retail, services, and residential business activity.
Also serving Rockledge, Satellite Beach, Indialantic, Indian Harbour Beach, Cocoa, Viera, and all Brevard County communities.
Serving Brevard County means knowing it. From the launchpads of Cape Canaveral to the surf breaks of Cocoa Beach and the tech corridors of Melbourne — here's the local context that shapes how businesses operate across the Space Coast.
Brevard County's identity was forged in the Space Age. When NASA chose Cape Canaveral as America's primary launch site in the 1950s, it transformed a rural, mosquito-infested barrier island into one of the most technologically significant places on Earth. Every crewed American spaceflight — from Mercury to Gemini to Apollo to the Space Shuttle — launched from Brevard County.
Kennedy Space Center remains NASA's primary launch complex, but the real transformation has come from commercial space. SpaceX now launches more rockets from the Cape than anyone else, and their massive operations in Titusville and Cape Canaveral have attracted thousands of workers and dozens of supplier companies. Blue Origin, United Launch Alliance, and L3Harris Technologies (headquartered in Melbourne) round out a world-class aerospace cluster.
Today, the Space Coast is experiencing its most dramatic boom since the Apollo era. Port Canaveral is the second-busiest cruise port in the world. Viera has emerged as a master-planned community attracting families and businesses. And the defense sector — anchored by Patrick Space Force Base — continues to drive cybersecurity, simulation, and engineering companies.
