Endorsements from corporates and startups:
John Karner, Director of Strategic Initiatives, Denver International Airport
I think one of the higher values of today has been the opportunity to meet with some of the other fellow airports. The ability to learn from Gatwick and other airports, and what they are trying to do in the innovation space is almost as valuable as the opportunities to talk with the startups.
Raj Singh, Managing Director, JetBlue Technology Ventures
I’ve really enjoyed it – a lot of interesting startups, as always, and actually quite a lot of lively discussion, especially in the meeting sessions, which were excellent.
Alan McLaren, Head of IT Project Delivery, Gatwick Airport
The one-to-one sessions with the individual startups was really useful… getting the extra 15 minutes with them to really explore their pitch and understand the value they add was really beneficial.
John Sutherland, Manager, Digital and Innovation, Vantage Airport Group
Everyone tends to be on the same page on how we improve airport and airline experiences, and we are just trying to build all of the pieces together. So this is what this event provides; exposure and the ability to meet with startups we would have never really thought of. It is a great use of our time to stimulate discussions and I am sure there will be great follow-ups afterwards.
