About the session

As Schiphol Group's Innovation Hub we build multi-partner consortia with common impact goals (dot on the horizon) in order to make the organization and industry future-ready.

During the discussion we touch upon the key challenges we as a team face and the way we are positioned within the organization. Also we will discuss how that changed over time in order to stay relevant and add concrete value during challenging times such as 2021 and 2022 when aviation was under serious pressure.
