The Ohio Aerospace Institute is hosting the Digital Transformation of the Aerospace Industry event on November 16, 2023 from 1:00 P.M. - 3:00 P.M. The aerospace sector is fast transitioning from the analog world to the digital. Because this sector is heavily regulated, the pace is necessarily slower. However, progress is being made in many areas of the industry, and with it the standards landscape to support this progress. Join expert panelists for a discussion of current trends, future pathways and the challenges to the wider adoption of digital processes in the aviation industry. Register here: https://zurl.co/RRgv

Our innovation manager Mélanie Durth participates in this last European Cluster Collaboration Platform (ECCP) Talks about "Autonomy, innovation and security: EU strategies for Aerospace and Defence" Thanks for the invitation Nina Catherine Hoppmann and the opportunity to tell more about our innovative technological projects such as #ANALISIS-F2, #IMAGINA, #IMPULSO-F3 from the #AEI funded call of the Ministerio de Industria y Turismo. We pointed out that #cooperation is key to foster the innovation in the Aerospace ecosystem. And we are very excited about our new iniciative in Spain #ECOAERO that brings together aerospace clusters (ANDALUCÍA AEROSPACE Cluster Empresarial HEGAN BASQUE AEROSPACE CLUSTER Asime Galicia), national aerospace industry representative (PAE (Plataforma Tecnológica Aeroespacial Española) TEDAE, Asociación Española de Empresas Tecnológicas de Defensa, Seguridad, Aeronáutica y Espacio) and technological centers (Fundación Andaluza para el Desarrollo Aeroespacial FIDAMC - Fundación para la Investigación, Desarrollo y aplicación de los Materiales Compuestos Tekniker) in order to work together and bring the technology closer to the industry and the SMEs in particular (Airbus). Time was running out and we had to stop the debate, but we would like to remark as a conclusion that the European Aerospace Cluster Partnership (EACP) and European Cluster Collaboration Platform (ECCP) are real success stories of #COOPERATION for #innovation. https://lnkd.in/dvTgY4nQ
