With nearly $150 billion worth of contracts signed, the show provided an unparalleled platform for networking, business opportunities, and knowledge exchange. Throughout the week, a multitude of events took place, from the successful Paris Air Lab focusing on air transport decarbonization to the introduction of the Paris Air Mobility, uniting global leaders in urban air mobility. Additionally, initiatives like the Start-Me-Up program, aimed at nurturing startup talent, and career-focused events like “L’Avion des Métiers” and “l’Aéro Recrute” contributed to the show’s vibrancy and diversity.
