ABOUT AERO EDIH
The sky is no longer the limit—it’s the next frontier for eco-friendly, efficient transport. Aero EDIH is set to pave the way in Europe. With a focus on green innovation and digital advancements, this initiative isn’t just talk; it’s action. Funded by strong Swedish partners and a budget of 2.9 million euros, Aero EDIH has a clear 36-month plan.
What’s on the agenda? Practical services designed to push the envelope. We’re talking tech tests to de-risk investments, skill-building workshops, and networking opportunities. But Aero EDIH goes even further. It helps businesses find the right investors and connects them with an innovation ecosystem. All of these services are aimed at one goal: accelerating the adoption of digital technology in the aerospace sector.
Why does it matter? Because we need a revolution in how we move goods and people. Current modes of transport are simply not cutting it. They’re either too slow, too polluting, or both. Aero EDIH offers a promising route to a solution.
