Innovation, in the heart of ADR

After the success of the First Call for Ideas, which saw the implementation of ten projects selected  in the FCO smart city out of over 100 applications received from startups from all over the world, we are now ready for the next step: to engage the second round of startups by investing total of 840.000 euros in their projects with the support of the mentors of the Innovation Cabin Crew aiming at a joint development for up to 8 months within our Innovation Hub at the Leonardo Da Vinci International Airport of Fiumicino.
During the "Runway to the future" program, startups will have the opportunity to get in touch with excellent national and international partners, deal with a network of airports focused on innovation within an environment entirely dedicated to startups. Our innovation model translates into a center of excellence aimed at enhancing territorial and local skills by attracting startups from all over the world who will have access to a unique opportunity to develop their projects directly in a HUB dedicated to air transport.
