- The Vista East-West Startup Hub provides startups with the unique opportunity to showcase their innovative solutions for the aerospace industry.
- Corporate leaders are invited to a workshop on effective collaboration with startups.
Aerospace Xelerated (AX), the Boeing-backed startup accelerator, announced it will sponsor the Vista East-West Startup Hub at the Global Aerospace Summit in Abu Dhabi on September 25-26.
The theme of this year’s event is “Investing in the Future of Aerospace”. As a key startup investor in the aerospace ecosystem, AX will play an instrumental role in the Vista section of the summit.
As part of the Vista East-West Startup Hub, exhibiting startups can pitch their solutions to a panel of experienced industry investors. This year, startups like AR Engineering – a leading Augmented Reality (AR) software company that provides learning and professional development transformation tools – and Basetwo AI – a company that provides a low code platform that helps engineers design, build and operationalise digital twins of their manufacturing processes – are some of the companies that will be present at the hub.
On September 25, startup founders, corporate leaders, investors, and government representatives will participate in the sessions on the Vista stage. On the same day, Matt Briggs, Head of Partnerships at AX, will deliver a workshop for corporate and government organisations on how to effectively collaborate with startups, sharing insights from the Aerospace Xelerated programme to help attendees drive innovation in their organisations.
“Our involvement with Vista at Global Aerospace Summit aligns with our mission to support the next generation of aerospace technologies. We believe the collaboration between established industry players and emerging startups is crucial for driving the future of aerospace forward,” said Dr. Mariam Ketait, Aerospace Xelerated Lead in the Middle East, Türkiye, Africa, and Central Asia.
On September 26, Mariam Ketait will join a panel of industry experts titled “Investing in the Aerospace and Aviation Industry: A 10-year Road Map” on the summit’s main stage.
Now in its seventh year, the Global Aerospace Summit brings together industry leaders and government officials for high-level discussions on the challenges shaping the future of the aerospace sector.
“Aerospace Xelerated is a strategic partner, and we’ve teamed up for this edition of Vista at Global Aerospace Summit because their commitment to innovation aligns perfectly with our vision for the future of aerospace – where cutting-edge technology and visionary startups lead the way to transformative change,” commented Katie Coleman, Portfolio Director at Global Aerospace Summit.
