JetZero’s potential expansion into North Carolina highlights three key trends:

🌍 Sustainable Tech Is the Future: JetZero is part of the push toward greener aviation. That means new roles in climate tech, materials science, and energy efficiency. It’s not just about what’s being built—it’s about how we build it.
