Beta Technologies’ electric aircraft charging network is poised to expand into the western U.S. under a new partnership with the state of Utah and 47G, Utah’s aerospace and defense association. The partnership aims to lay the groundwork for an advanced air mobility (AAM) ecosystem in Utah ahead of the 2034 Winter Olympic Games in Salt Lake City.

Utah governor Spencer Cox, Beta founder and CEO Kyle Clark, and 47G president and CEO Aaron Starks cemented the deal with the signing of a memorandum of understanding on January 28 at 47G’s annual Utah Aerospace & Defense “Day on the Hill” event at Salt Lake City’s Capitol Rotunda. Utah’s Department of Transportation (UDOT) and the governor’s Office of Economic Opportunity also signed letters of support for the agreement.
