Our business has shifted over the years from predominantly small Cessnas and Learjets to larger Falcon, Bombardier, and Gulfstream aircraft. This change reflects the growing need for larger aircraft as businesses have expanded globally. Customers now need aircraft capable of longer distances without stops, leading to increased demand for ultra-large aircraft.

ATI Inc

2024-06-28

We provide titanium and nickel alloys for the aerospace industry. Nickel alloys are used in the hottest sections of engines due to their superior strength, while titanium is slightly less strong but essential for other parts. These materials are subject to extreme stresses, requiring precise controls in engineering and quality inspection to prevent defects.

Building separate distribution networks for non-potable reuse is prohibitively expensive. People need to understand the water cycle and accept that technology can make reused water safe. Reused water is a critical resource that hasn't been fully exploited, and changing public attitudes towards it is essential.

Raymond Goldie

President

Prospectors & Developers Association of Canada (PDAC)

2024-06-26

Speeding up the pace of discovery and mine development is the one area we must focus on in Canada to achieve the goals of our national critical minerals and emission reduction strategies.

Mike Graff

Chairman & EVP

American Air Liquide

2024-06-25

The transition to sustainable energy solutions indeed faces challenges, primarily the significant cost difference compared to fossil fuels. However, Air Liquide has found like-minded partners and customers worldwide willing to take the initial steps towards decarbonization with our support.

Dirk Harbecke

CEO

Rock Tech Lithium

2024-06-13

For us to become a circular economy lithium company, this is a clear proof of concept. This is why it was so important. We are now focusing specifically on the refining part of lithium rather than mining.

Simon Gwozdz

Founder & CEO

Equatorial Space

2024-06-10

By 2017, the rise of private space companies and growing media interest after Falcon 1’s inaugural launch made the field more attractive. This was also around the time Rocket Lab achieved its first successful launch, showing that startups could enter this complex industry.

Ralph Cutie

CEO

Miami International Airport

2024-06-10

We have seen explosive growth in passenger volume over the last three years. In 2019, we had about 46 million passengers. In 2020 during the pandemic, it dropped to 18.7 million. We bounced back to 33.5 million in 2021, and in 2022, we set a record with 50.7 million passengers. Last year, we had 52.3 million passengers, a 3% increase from the previous year.

Adam Goldstein

Founder & CEO

Archer Aviation

2024-06-10

Nobody enjoys sitting in traffic. If a 90-minute car journey could be reduced to 5-15 minutes, it would be much more enjoyable. Ride-sharing is probably the most interesting concept because it can make this a mass form of transportation. We want to reach the masses and ensure high safety records.

Michael Cervenka

Chief Technology Officer

Vertical Aerospace

2024-06-04

We've seen a tipping point in three key technologies: batteries, electric motors, and lightweight composites. Improvements in these areas enable the creation of viable electric aircraft that can take off and land vertically, fly quietly, and efficiently. Joining Vertical Aerospace was a chance to be part of a significant disruption in aviation, similar to the jet age in the 1960s. A startup environment offers the pace, agility, and innovation needed to design these new types of aircraft, which I found very appealing.
