After two successful and well-attended AI Taskforce meetings earlier this year, Netherlands Aerospace Group (NAG) would like to invite you to the third and largest AI in Aviation Event on November 26 from 13:00 to 17:00. This event is organized in collaboration with Brainport Industries and takes place at Fokker Services Group in Hoogerheide. This event is an SME Networking activity of Holland High Tech and part of the Growth Fund Aerospace in Transition subproject 'Strengthening the Ecosystem'.

More information and registration

Purpose

The event is designed to provide a mix of creating general awareness about AI, its status and applications (opportunities), and to provide the opportunity to discuss specific topics that are short term (High TRL) or long term (Low TRL). Overall, NAG wants you to be able to assess whether and how these AI initiatives can help improve your business, whether it is the efficiency and quality of processes for engineering, manufacturing, supply chain and other functions. And who you can collaborate with.

For whom

Whether you are actively involved in current AI projects, are considering exploring AI or are unsure what AI can do for your aviation business, this is an excellent event to attend. The event offers a great opportunity to share knowledge and experiences and find collaboration opportunities through matchmaking opportunities.

About the event

We have guest speakers from both the aerospace industry and Brainport Industries. The aerospace speakers will update on the insights shared during the previous events and afterwards. The Brainport speakers will share what they are doing and have learned in European programs (e.g. with Airbus) and with other industries, such as automotive, high-tech equipment manufacturing and semiconductors, with AI in product development, manufacturing, supply chain management and support/maintenance.
