This 5-day programme offers a unique opportunity to immerse in the European aerospace ecosystem. Organised jointly by DISTRICT and Aerospace Valley—Europe’s largest aerospace cluster with over 850 members—the expedition provides privileged access to world-class expertise, industry leaders, and innovation networks concentrated in Toulouse, Occitania, and Nouvelle-Aquitaine. Taking place each autumn, it delivers first-hand insight into the dynamics, technologies, and opportunities shaping European aerospace. Participants receive full access to InnoDay by Aerospace Valley event, including the main conference, a dedicated poster session space, and B2B matchmaking activities. Each cohort is guided by an industrial mentor, offering privileged access and technical insights from major aerospace companies. The programme includes a discovery day across the regional aerospace ecosystem — R&D centres, startups, and industry — plus individual preparatory meetings with Aerospace Valley experts to tailor agendas and optimise business interactions. Participants will take part in an immersion visit to a key industrial site. To enhance business visibility, the programme features a pitch session with leading corporations and investors, jointly with startups from the DISTRICT Accelerator, as well as networking afterwork with innovators and a business acceleration workshop aligned with participants’ profiles and goals.
