What new solutions could contribute to more sustainable or secure airports? On 21 May, KTH Innovation welcomes the leading Swedish developer and operator of airports, Swedavia to share how they are leveraging innovation and collaborating with startups to develop the net-zero airports of the future.
Reaching net zero air transport by 2030 is a key goal according to Swedavia. During this event, representatives from the company will share how they are working to drive the shift to more sustainable aviation fuel and how they are preparing for aircraft powered by electricity, hydrogen gas, or other new technologies.
They will also share how new technology could make airports safer, more efficient, and more connected to other modes of transportation. You will also hear what opportunities for collaboration might exist for KTH startups, students and researchers.
KTH students, researchers interested in the air travel industry’s transition towards sustainability, and startup teams working on relevant solutions.
With this event, we hope to inspire the next generation of startups as well as to motivate those currently working on solutions that are relevant in airport and air transport industries.
If you are interested in green transformation in air transport, intermodal transportation, AI/ML solutions to improve operational efficiency and airport safety, new drone/EVTOL applications, screening tools for emotional well being, waste management, infrastructure maintenance and lifecycle extension, simulation of climate change impact, AR/XR applications in operations, or using airports as energy hubs, this is an event for you!
