Who’s it for?<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
The programme is designed for start-ups or entrepreneurs based and registered in the Interreg SUDOE area (France, Portugal, and Spain) with cutting-edge products and\/or services with potential to be applied to the automotive and\/or aerospace sector<\/strong>. But also for those brave hearts with a visionary mindset that do not shy away from change and exchange and are passionate for learning. In addition, until the first call closes, webinars will be organised<\/strong><\/a> in the three countries where the project is being developed to resolve any doubts that may arise.<\/p>\r\nThe challenges<\/h3>\r\n
However, SCAIRA also requires a bit of elbow grease. The acceleration programme’s industry partners have prepared a series of challenges to stimulate creativity<\/strong> and identify and solve some of the most pressing challenges in the automotive and aerospace sectors, allowing entrepreneurs to not only strengthen their value propositions<\/strong> but also create disruptive solutions with high market impact. Each of these tests, from which a ranking of solutions will be established<\/strong>, has been carefully selected to respond to the current demands of the industry, enhancing the competitiveness of the participating start-ups and offering mentoring and resources to overcome the technological hurdles they face. Each applicant can submit a maximum of three challenges<\/strong>.<\/p>\r\nAirbus Atlantic\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\ud83c\udfafChallenge n\u00b01 \u2013 Circularity of alloys.<\/a>\u00a0
