The aerospace sector is more than just a single industry. It is one powerful mechanism that pulls through different technologies and innovations thus binding them all together. Travel, monitoring the surroundings, maintaining national security, communication, robotics and so on - those make the increasingly important role of aerospace in the world to offer a lot of potential for strengthening the cooperation between companies and stakeholders in the field.
The first part of the event - the trilateral cluster exchange focusing on the regions of North Rhine-Westphalia (DE), Silesia (PL) and South Moravia (CZ) - aims at presenting the main characteristics and strengths of the three aerospace regions and at fostering international research and innovation activities among them.
It will be followed by a matchmaking event and is open to participants from other countries regardless of the geographical focus.
This part of the event is held during the Startup-Week Dusseldorf and provides an introduction to the activities planned for September 2022.
September 8th, 2022 at 10 a.m. (CET).
Expert talk consisting of three parts
1. Presentations on financial support, funding and legal aspects.
2. Expert Talks
3. Pitch for Project
