ENAIRE awards five innovative airspace management projects in its Business Ideas Competition
ENAIRE, Spain’s national air navigation service provider, as part of its ongoing commitment to open innovation, today presented the awards for the fourth edition of its Business Ideas Competition, recognising five projects that put forward innovative and promising ideas to improve airspace management.
Alongside this competition, ENAIRE and CRIDA, its Research and Development (R&D) subsidiary, have launched several initiatives to progressively attract innovative talent and build an ecosystem around air traffic management: Competition for Business Ideas, Competition for Technological Challenges and Acceleration Competition (on Startups). Each competition seek to capture ideas and solutions at different levels of maturity.
At the awards ceremony, Mariluz de Mateo, ENAIRE’s Director of Strategy and Innovation, stated: “We have seen some entrepreneurs who submitted ideas in previous editions go on to develop them and even create small start-ups to bring them to market. This makes us very proud and gives even greater meaning to this competition”.
