Meet us at Global Aerospace Summit this September 🇦🇪
We are excited to announce that we will be attending the Global Aerospace Summit this September, being held in Abu Dhabi 🇦🇪
We’re delighted to be sponsoring VISTA, the East-West Startup Hub. Originally launched during Dubai Airshow 2021, the Vista platform gives startups in aerospace and defence, a platform to showcase their latest technologies and innovations. The startups will also have a chance to pitch their solution live in front of a panel of investors.
Now in its 7th year, the Global Aerospace Summit is a CEO-led meeting of the world's aerospace supply chain, gathering industry and government together at the highest level for dialogue and partnership - focusing on the macro challenges exercising boardrooms across the globe.
