The BRIDGESMEs project funded by the European Commission held its kick-off meeting this week in Naples👏 BRIDGESMEs seeks to create alliances between traditional SMEs and innovative SMEs to rethink business models and operations to become more resilient, sustainable and human-centred. 👥 Its 9 partners will facilitate these alliances to build the bridge between their five ecosystems: 🚙Mobility, Transport and Automotive ✈️Aerospace & Defense 🤖Electronics 💡Cultural and Creative industries 🧳Tourism More info ➡️ https://lnkd.in/d5WPq_r5 _____ Our partners: Aerospace Valley | AIMEN Centro Tecnológico | Associazione Nazionale Filiera Industria Automobilistica (ANFIA) | CEAGA - Cluster de Automoción y Movilidad de Galicia | Consiglio Nazionale delle Ricerche | Corallia | Iniziativa | Silicon Alps Cluster | VSB - Technical University of Ostrava

Up until a decade ago, China’s aerospace industry was dominated by two state-owned enterprises: China Aerospace Science and Industry Corporation (CASIC) and China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation (CASC). That began to change in 2014, when China passed Document 60, which allowed private capital and companies to participate in civilian space infrastructure for the first time. In the years that followed, the central government issued a series of policies that gradually and cautiously opened up the sector. But with the success story of SpaceX, which has transformed the U.S. space and defense industrial base, Beijing seems more ready to open the floodgates. In my latest cover story for The Wire China, I look at China's efforts to develop its domestic version of Starlink and how private companies like Landspace could give Chinese mega-constellations a leg up. With insights from Blaine Curcio, Alexandre Najjar, Wayne Shiong and others. https://lnkd.in/gdN3Bs8Z

Texas is a prime destination for aerospace investments. In the San Antonio region, Port San Antonio serves as a hub of innovation and a magnet for top-tier aerospace companies. Recent expansions by companies like Boeing and the introduction of cutting-edge technology by XYREC B.V. are just a few examples that underscore the hashtag #aerospace industry in SATX. However, with great growth comes great responsibility. Read about how companies like StandardAero work with San Antonio's universities and training programs to ensure a robust pipeline of aerospace talent to meet the demands of such growth in the Bisnow article linked here. #GoBiginTexas #Innovation #SanAntonio #TalentDevelopment

Exciting developments are on the horizon for Volusia County! AURA-AERO, a leading aerospace manufacturer from Toulouse, France, is considering Volusia for its U.S. headquarters, a move that could bring over 1,000 high-paying jobs and a projected $537 million annual economic impact to the region. "This kind of high-tech headquarters and manufacturing facility is absolutely critical to the county’s targeted industry goals and overall economic growth," says Volusia County Economic Development Director Lou Paris. With partnerships involving Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University and other local organizations, this potential move could solidify the county as a major aerospace hub.

Third Regional Meeting with MAE Project Stakeholders in Craiova 🌟 On August 20, 2024, the South-West Oltenia Regional Development Agency hosted the third stakeholder meeting for the MAE - Moving towards AErospace project, co-financed by the Interreg Europe 2021-2027 Program. This event gathered local companies and various public and private institutions, including the Dolj County Council and the Dolj Chamber of Commerce and Industry. During the meeting, they presented MAE ongoing activities, aimed at supporting SMEs in adopting innovative technologies and entering the expanding aerospace sector. Participants discussed local challenges and opportunities for innovation and competitiveness, culminating in a fruitful Q&A session. 🔍 Why Stakeholder Meetings Matter These meetings are vital for ensuring the MAE project aligns with the needs of all stakeholders. By including public entities in our discussions, we integrate the "fourth element" of the Quadruple Helix: public institutions. Their involvement is crucial for co-creating effective strategies that address workforce skills and raise awareness of new career opportunities. Together, we are building a shared vision for technological development and growth. 👉 Let’s continue our journey towards a sustainable aerospace future! #MAE #AeroSpace #Stakeholders #Innovation #InterregEurope #Craiova #Collaboration #SustainableDevelopment
