Why?
In 2050, aviation must be climate-neutral, and for that, momentum is crucial. Through Aviation in Transition, the Netherlands strengthens its position as an innovative and resilient leader in aviation.
How?
Within Aviation in Transition, various stakeholders, ranging from universities, knowledge organizations, and SMEs to large enterprises, are united. In close collaboration, they work on the accelerated development of breakthrough technologies that make crucial systems, and consequently, future aircrafts ultra-efficient and free of CO2 emissions. The Dutch government contributes to this mission with essential support from the National Growth Fund, as well as supportive policies to facilitate the introduction of “new flying.”
What?
Between 2023 and 2030, a range of projects will be undertaken to develop technologies, build sustainable knowledge, and strengthen the aviation ecosystem. As a result, we will have enough trained individuals for the transition to a new aviation system, and we can secure a stronger market position within the global chain.
