Previously known as the ATI Boeing Accelerator, this rebranded programme will be led by Boeing, with a host of other industry partners to be announced soon.
Since its launch in 2019, participating startups have raised a further £20M in funding, created 100+ jobs in addition to developing partnerships with a range of organisations including GKN Aerospace and Rolls-Royce.

Autonomous Navigation - applying AI to autonomous navigation for unpiloted/unmanned/driverless environments.
-
Generative Design - applying AI to generative design to explore all possible permutations of a solution and generating design alternatives.
-
Smart Maintenance - where AI is applied to predictive analytics on maintenance data to develop smart maintenance solutions.
-
Adaptive Learning - applying AI to predictive and prescriptive analytics for training of learners based on their role and performance history.
-
Reduced Workload - flight automation technologies that reduce crew workload by automating routine flight tasks, excluding cognitive, physical, or onboard processing.
-
Novel Aerospace AI Applications - other innovative uses of AI being applied to aerospace applications.
Participating startups will receive £100k equity investment from Boeing in addition to over £100k in programme perks from partners including startup providers Google, Amazon, Stripe, Digital Ocean and more.
