Airbus has expanded its global network of BizLabs by opening a fourth campus in Madrid (Spain) after Toulouse (France), Hamburg (Germany) and Bangalore (India). This milestone is part of Airbus' strategy to establish a global network of aerospace business accelerators.

Madrid concentrates all Airbus businesses (Defence & Space, Airbus Helicopters, and Commercial Aircraft) and represents a strategic bridge between Europe and Latin America, a flourishing ecosystem for start-ups. Pedro Luzon who currently is Business Performance Improver at Airbus Operations in Spain will be the Head of BizLab in Madrid.

In parallel, Airbus has launched its new call for projects worldwide with applications open until June 24th. Airbus BizLab is looking for projects that include developments of an existing product, a service or an application related to the aerospace industry and beyond. Examples include: Data analytics and Artificial Intelligence, Digital Design and Manufacturing, Autonomy and Robotics, Unmanned Aerial Vehicle & Urban Air Mobility, Electrification & Connectivity, Virtual and Augmented Reality, New Space solutions and SmartCity as well as Blockchain and Cybersecurity.
