Support to SMEs

On the 29th of November 2022, we had the chance to hold the “UFO Showcase Event – latest innovation in Small Flying Objects” at the Royal Geographical Society (with IBG) to present 22 innovative solutions financed under the #2020 UFO – Innovation boosted by Small Flying Objects programme.

🏙 In total, 66 SMEs from France, UK, Greece, Romania and Bulgaria benefited from that funding and more than 3M€ has been redirected in the Space, Drones and HAPS industries for the emergence of 25 projects.
