Event
Innovation MeetUp
The 2025 edition of the Innovation MeetUp took place on 14-15 October at the EIH in Brétigny, near Paris.
This annual event brings together innolabs, innovation hubs, digital factories and innovation leads from across the aviation sector, including airlines, airports, ANSPs and public institutions.
It offers a neutral space to share ideas, lessons learned and explore potential synergies within the European air transport innovation ecosystem.
Following the success of previous editions, this year’s programme once again featured live demos and innovation stories from a wide range of operational stakeholders.
