The Gerald R. Ford International Airport Authority has introduced the Ford Launchpad for Innovative Technologies and Entrepreneurship (FLITE), with support from the Office of Future Mobility and Electrification, Southwest Airlines and Stantec. The platform provides grants and testing opportunities to companies focused on bringing emerging air travel and mobility technology solutions to market.
FLITE has successfully executed three rounds of projects. We invite you to join us as we provide an overview of the projects and introduce you to the companies from Rounds II and III. We will also give an update on the companies who participated in Round I of FLITE.
The event is hosted by the West Michigan Aviation Academy located at 5363 44th St SE, Grand Rapids, MI 49512 located on the campus of the Gerald R. Ford International Airport.
