Open activity for the public
For a few years now, a new type of passenger and cargo transport system, primarily for city settings, has been in the works. It is called Urban Air Mobility (UAM), recently renamed Advanced Air Mobility (AAM). It consists of using electrically-powered vertical take-off and landing aircraft that are able to travel automatically (even autonomously) or be piloted remotely.
The aim of this round table is to bring together the key players in the development of AAM to take stock of current progress and identify the essential actions still needed.
To this end, in this event from Ellas Vuelas Alto, we will bring together at the same table, future operators, UAS operation experts, airspace regulatory authorities and experts in vertiports development.
We will obtain a full vision of the existing challenges to see Advance Air Mobility in our cities in the very short term.

The Technological Platforms seek to promote this type of collaboration in order to encourage technological development and business competitiveness through the creation of meeting forums, the search for synergies between all companies, organizations, technology centers, universities and administrations. involved and the creation of alliances.
In this thematic panel, which will be moderated by Domenec Espriu (Director of the State Research Agency), the Technological Platforms PTEPA, PACKNET and PROTECMA will present examples of recent success stories that show the efforts made to achieve circularity and that include prevention , recycling and recovery of waste generated by fishing activity in ports, markets and points of sale that are being carried out within the framework of these collaborations. In addition, the event will have the participation of the General Secretariat of Fisheries (MAPA) that will present the Network of Knowledge Spaces as catalytic instruments for progress towards a blue economy.
