Industry challenges: inspiring innovation & acceleration through collaboration

This event has ended.

Airbus Endeavr is a joint initiative between Airbus and the Welsh Government to support innovation. Endeavr exists to help innovative ideas become reality, funding the development of early stage research to the point where commercial value can be achieved.

Working in partnership with Cardiff University (plus other academic institutes and innovative small businesses) Airbus Endeavr is committed to the research of technologies in the fields of Digital Services, AI for Productivity and Secure Connectivity. The aim is to support innovation, acceleration and growth through collaboration in these areas, with the ultimate goal of creating future jobs and accelerating the Welsh economy.
