AERALIS SUBMITS CONTRIBUTION TO INVEST 2035: AERALIS last week submitted its response to the Government’s #Invest2035 consultation with UK industry. Invest 2035 ‘the new modern industrial strategy’, is billed by the UK government as central to its “credible, 10-year plan to deliver the certainty and stability businesses need to invest in the high growth sectors that will drive our growth mission.” Below is an excerpt from the executive summary of AERALIS’s submission: “AERALIS is pleased to contribute to the Invest 2035 strategy with our proposals that address the UK’s industrial growth needs and position as a global leader in aviation innovation. Our digitally designed modular light jet aircraft system exemplifies the kind of entrepreneurial programme that is capable of attracting significant inward investment from both sovereign wealth and private sector investors, securing the future of UK aerospace whilst reducing the burden of public funding  from HM Treasury. “Our approach transforms traditional procurement models by developing a British-designed, British-built jet system that is export-ready and economically sustainable. This innovative funding model leverages third-party financing and international partnerships to deliver significant long-term savings for the UK while reducing reliance on overseas capabilities. With a fully modular airframe, integrated with the RAF’s PYRAMID open systems avionics, and an integrated digital enterprise, our platform remains adaptable, scalable, and affordable throughout its lifecycle, supporting UK sovereignty, and bolstering the UK’s industrial and defence capabilities. “AERALIS’s commitment to using digital enterprise invites industrial partners across the UK to participate in and contribute towards this high added-value aircraft programme. This alignment with the Invest 2035 goals supports UK engineering excellence, drives productivity, and strengthens the aerospace supply chain—showcasing Britain as a prime investment destination in advanced manufacturing and technology." ------------------- We applaud the UK Government’s engagement with industry in the development of the Invest 2035 strategy and thank them for the opportunity for AERALIS to be involved.

Investment trends in France and Germany: What's happening in these markets? Stay updated with the latest insights. #InvestmentTrends #France #Germany #VC

Last week in Milan, we brought together over 30 investors and founders to chart the future of Cleantech for Italy and begin shaping our 2025 work plan. It was inspiring to witness the Italian cleantech community's dedication to driving industrial leadership and competitiveness. Here are some key insights from our discussion: 💰 Italy needs more blended finance instruments to accelerate the #industrialization of late-stage scaleups. These include but are not limited to grants and incentives. Initiatives such as Breakthrough Energy Catalyst demonstrate how private and public capital can work hand in hand to support critical technology demonstrations. 🏦 #Bankability is pivotal for unlocking the capital flows needed to scale cleantech champions. Public #guarantees and sector-specific #offtaking frameworks are essential, especially in a country like Italy, with its robust industrial base. However, we must enhance the dialogue between established companies and scaleups to drive cleantech #adoption. ⚖️ Public #procurement should embrace openness and include emerging technologies with national and European strategic relevance. These solutions are not only competitive with current alternatives but can also spur job creation and de-risk supply chains. 🧪 #Technology #transfer remains critical to make sure that the research efforts carried out by public and private organizations are translated into promising technologies and viable business opportunities. Simplifying and harmonizing existing frameworks is the first, crucial step to simplify this process. 🚛 #Trade and #competition policy is key to ensuring European innovators have a level playing field. Strengthening EU partnerships and shifting towards an "EU in the world" approach will create better market conditions for cleantech innovations globally. Looking forward to taking these insights forward as we shape the next steps for Cleantech for Italy! The momentum is building and, with continued collaboration, we can turn these #ambitions into #action.

Some personal consideration after a week in the UK for #AMRUK2024: 1. I really understood what it means a country #InnovationStrategy to set out a long-term plan for delivering innovation-led growth. 2. I really understood what an innovation ecosystem is: we visited three research centres in 5 days: CPI, Alderley Park near Manchester and Maxwell Centre, University of Cambridge. In all three we found the same proactive approach, people in the mood it needs, interested in understanding and above all in helping: ready to advice and recommend other people or more suitable structures for the specific purpose. The ecosystem is one not on the hub&spokes model but several hubs that work under a unique coordination. 3. Clear vision and strategy: target of increasing annual public investment on R&D to a record £22 billion and 2 agencies (Innovate UK and UKRI - Industrial Decarbonisation Challenge (IDC)  to operationalise this strategy in order to achieve the shared objectives by including universities and other research organisations, charities, research translation organisations, public sector research establishments and research and innovation institutes who will all play a key role in implementation of the Strategy. 4. Public-private partnership strong and fruitful. Alderley Park is the right example of this: “a place where people can live connected lives, in a community that will shape its own future. A place to do science, do business, work and live differently, with no boundaries.” 5. But most importantly of all, this #strategy sends a message to businesses: make innovation central to everything you do and tell us what further steps we can take to help you to do so. These are just a few of the reasons that explain why UK leads by far all other European countries when it comes to VC investments. What's happening in Italy? I attended a very interesting event promoted by Massimo Milani and Gianmarco Carnovale and I had a feeling that something is moving. Maybe there is still a lack of real coordination and volumes (including funding) that can create critical mass.  Without adequate public funding and coordination, it is difficult to carry out projects that can have a significant impact. We have many private initiatives in different cities, but no initiative has ever had the ability to aggregate enough critical mass to put itself at the level of global ecosystems. Maybe #Ostiense, a former industrial area of Rome, can become the country leading example by transforming a very old city into "the oldest city of the future" (quote Mattia Voltaggio)?

The so-called Draghi report („The future of European competitiveness“ Sep2024) has been sufficiently commented on in recent days. That's why I want to be brief and sometimes a chart says more than a thousand words. I think this one, which was part of the report, nailed it! The message is quite obvious and the gap shown is even more drastic than perhaps anticipated. Innovation must be encouraged so that Europe does not degenerate into a museum and theme park for other continents. One of the most important steps in promoting innovation is to finance it. I am aware that I am not completely objective in my role and perhaps even a little emotional.  Nevertheless, I am tired of hearing in countless conversations with investors that they have already (unsuccessfully) invested in their seventh real-estate project, but are not prepared to invest in venture capital. Fair enough. But at the same time complaining that Europe is falling further and further behind is not solving the problem. I am honestly dissappointed how little we are prepared to contribute. Everyone (who has a certain amount of money) should invest a small proportion of their portfolio in venture capital. #venturecapital #putyourmoneywhereyourmouthis
