HyFlux named as innovators that are accelerating the aviation industry’s transition to net-zero by World Economic Forum Uplink and First Movers Coalition
To accelerate and support the transformation of aviation and expedite its journey to net-zero, UpLink and the First Movers Coalition have launched the Sustainable Aviation Innovation Challenge to identify and accelerate the most innovative and promising start-ups in this sector. With 130 high-quality submissions received from around the globe, 16 Top Innovators were selected by industry partners to join the UpLink Innovation Ecosystem.
To this end, we’re excited to announce we are part of the cohort of Sustainable Aviation Top Innovators to accelerate the development and adoption of Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) and other propulsion solutions, with the broader vision of enhancing the viability of promising start-ups in this space.
Innovation ignites the spark, but collaboration fuels progress. Together with the other 15 innovators we are now plugged into World Economic Forum formal programming and a support ecosystem of industry partners and investors to scale up their ventures through business and technology collaborations.
Here are the 16 UpLink Top Innovators of the Sustainable Aviation Challenge
