# Trump and NASA Announce New CapeWeek Aerospace Event to Challenge World's Biggest Aviation Shows
US President Donald Trump and NASA have announced plans to establish a major international space and aviation conference called CapeWeek at Florida's Kennedy Space Center, with the first event expected to take place in 2028. The initiative aims to position the United States as a leading global destination for aerospace investment, commercial aviation partnerships and advanced space technology development. Trump described the proposed gathering as an event that could become the world's largest air show, attracting international aerospace companies, government officials, engineers and investors. The announcement comes amid increasing competition between the United States, Europe, China and other major economies to dominate the rapidly expanding space industry. Established international events in Paris, Farnborough and Dubai currently attract thousands of aerospace executives and industry professionals. CapeWeek is intended to strengthen American influence in the global aviation and space sector while creating additional opportunities for US aerospace manufacturers, defence contractors and commercial space companies. The development also follows growing geopolitical competition over satellite networks, rocket technology, military aviation and commercial space exploration. If successfully established, the event could generate new international partnerships, investment opportunities and business contracts for American aerospace companies.
