Can you believe we only have 8 weeks left with the second ATI Boeing Accelerator cohort? What a whirlwind fortnight it's been with our 10 teams – and outside the ABA as well. We've seen Boeing commit to a further 5 years of partnership with the AMRC, biofuels being used for spaceflight and flying cars landing in Coventry.Last week was GKN Aerospace Week, while this week is mostly clear of programming so we can all get some work done. GKN Week saw the cohort connecting with stakeholders from across GKN (Russ Dunn, their CTO, Michiel Jas, GKN's Director of Sustainability, Uduak Koka, Global IP Manager, Susan Schofield, ABA programme lead and VP of Strategy, Civil Airframes and a few more). We also hosted our second Mentor Madness day (a further 16 hours of meetings across 10 timezones - taking us to 130+ mentoring sessions over nearly 3 full days so far this programme) to connect our startups and some of our GKN colleagues. It's a bumper instalment of UK Aerospace Accelerated this week, so read on and find out more (you may also need to expend the newsletter or view it online to see the whole thing)! As always, you can find our contact details at the end of the newsletter. You can find us on Twitter, Medium and LinkedIn, too.👋 Gabi, Ksenia and Wil
