About

We want to hear from companies developing solutions to fundamentally shift the way people and cargo move over the next ten years.

We are currently preparing for the launch of the 10th IAGi Accelerator Programme.

Over 12 weeks, start-ups and scale-ups work with one of our airlines or operating companies to help them solve a live business challenge. The programme is designed to put new technology to the test under operational conditions, so we’re looking for solutions that can be implemented at scale following a successful proof of value.

Through our programme, start-ups and scale-ups:

- Work on a 12-week proof of value, with the possibility of a commercial contract if successful.

- Gain a deep insight into aviation operations and develop their understanding of aviation customer needs and preferences.

- Benefit from introductions across the Group and the wider industry.

If you’re at a start-up or scale-up with an exciting solution for the aviation industry, we would love to hear from you.

Let's have a chat!
