Interview: How start-ups and industry giants can drive change together 🤝
As part of Aerospace Tech Week Europe, our AX Program Director Jacqueline Davidson was invited to talk about the important role that partnerships between startups and established industry giants play in creating positive change within the #aerospace industry 🛫
Combining the flexibility and agile nature of startups, alongside the resources and experience of the bigger corporations, can lead to powerful problem-solving and the creation of new innovative solutions 💡
Jacqueline says: "Partnerships are critical to enhancing innovation - innovators can be much more flexible and work at a speed and agility that large corporates often can't".
In the interview, Jacqueline also touches on -
Emerging trends and technologies
The lack of diversity in the industry
Key areas such as energy, artificial intelligence (#AI), and sustainability 🤖🌳
