Airbus Upnext

Founded in 2017, Airbus UpNext is actively shaping the future of aerospace by using demonstrators to evaluate, mature and validate new products and services.

Designed as a talent incubator, Airbus UpNext is a place where you can act and think like a startup while building on the strong expertise of Airbus, a place where you are empowered to challenge and test new processes and ways of working.

Our purpose is:

• To identify the trends that could disrupt the future of the aerospace industry and evaluate them to demonstrate their potential as a viable product.
• To accelerate traditional research cycles and prototype development to achieve proof of concept in a real environment and at a convincing scale and speed.
• To develop real-world applications for emerging aerospace technologies, thereby driving their maturity and increasing their value.
• To be THE reference for Technology Value Assessment
