Finally, a webinar will be dedicated to the AM entrepreneurship ecosystem and its startups.
The highlight of the week will be an online Open Innovation challenge, organized in partnership with SAFRAN. Called the SAFRAN Blackout Challenge, it will involve coming up with alternative solutions to avoid a disaster scenario in which a solar storm has rendered all GNSS systems inoperative.
This is an opportunity to get noticed by Safran's international experts from Safran, but also to win prizes (checks for €1,000 and €500) and take a private tour of the SAFRAN innovation center, or even land an internship.
