Airbus BizLab on Monday launched the second season of its start-up accelerator programme here in the presence of the visiting French Minister for Foreign Affairs and International Development, Jean-Marc Ayrault. Seven start-ups have been selected for the second season, out of 137 applicants from nine countries, the company said.
“Each start-up we have selected carries the potential to shape the future of aerospace. Our job is to help them realise their potential,” Bruno Gutierres, Global Head, Airbus BizLab, said in a company release.
Airbus BizLab is a global aerospace business accelerator with facilities in Toulouse (France) and Hamburg (Germany), besides Bengaluru, where start-ups and Airbus “intrapreneurs” (internal entrepreneurs) can work together to speed up transforming their innovative ideas into valuable businesses.
The programme is designed for aerospace start-ups as well as any start-up that has a product/solution that can be adapted for the aerospace sector such as robotics, Internet of Things, data analytics, virtual/augmented reality, supply chain, fintech, gaming, manufacturing and image processing, the release said.
Airbus BizLab offers wide-ranging support to early-stage selected projects in the form of a six-month acceleration programme.
