LiT Newsletter #33

In this edition of the newsletter, we look back at the Farnborough International Airshow, where sustainability, defence and digitalisation are increasingly converging and creating opportunities for the Dutch aviation sector.

We also welcome Jolanda Stevens as a new member of the Advisory Board and Tim van der Ent as a new colleague in the Programme Office. We highlight the collaboration between LiT partner PhotonFirst and Curtiss-Wright and look back at the successful completion of the Flying Vision Accelerator LDE Thesis Lab. We also look ahead: register for the Aerospace Innovation Hub DEMOday, share your ideas during the next FVA Think Tank and book a one-to-one meeting with a grant/subsidy expert at the LiT Aero Conference ’26.
