FTE Startup Hub - free for startups and
low-cost for corporates
Innovation gives you a competitive edge and startups are an obvious source of inspiration. However, with over 11,000 launched every hour it is hard for corporate organisations (such as airlines and airports) to find the most relevant startups and scaleups in a time- and cost-effective manner. For startups and scaleups, simply gaining access to the organisations that might be interested in what they have to offer is often a major source of frustration.
The FTE Startup Hub has been developed to make it as easy as possible for corporate innovators and startups in the air transport and travel sector to connect both digitally and physically, engage in meaningful discussions and lay the foundations for future collaboration.
