H2 Aviation Summit 2022
DAY 2 SESSION 5
Supercharging R&D & Commercialisation
CHAIR:
- Katy Milne, Programme Director For Hydrogen, UK's High Value Manufacturing Catapult
SPEAKERS
- Ron Van Manen, Head of Strategic Development, EU Clean Aviation Joint Undertaking
- Sophie Lane, Chief Relationships Officer, Aerospace Technology Institute
- Robin Toth, Lead Director of Aerospace, Washington State Department of Commerce
TOPIC:
Much can change in a year. And over the last 12 months, R&D has driven disruptive breakthroughs and market development at speed. Alongside this, there has been a clear shift in policy direction from viewing hydrogen-electric technologies as one of many options to a recognition that it is a critical route to realizing zero-emission #aviation.
To make the leap to commercialization, however, now more than ever, a brave and ambitious policy approach is needed to catalyze true change.
In this session, industry experts discuss R&D’s critical role as an #innovation driver, examine the barriers it faces, and determine what could be done to create more favorable conditions to accelerate technological advancement, short-circuit timelines and ultimately, accelerate the transition to #zeroemissions #aviation.
