In less than two weeks, Dubai Airshow will once again open its doors to aviation enthusiasts from around the world. As proud strategic partners to the Vista Startup Zone, we will be exhibiting along with ten of our incredible alumni teams from November 13–17. Come say hi at booth V34!

Each of these ten teams boasts a distinctive focus and expertise within the aerospace industry. Keep reading to get to know each of them.

1. AEROSENS

AEROSENS focuses on technology, digitalisation and automation for aviation. Their aircraft cabin management solution (AeroCMS) is an industry-certified, cloud-based platform allowing real-time visibility on the status of critical safety and security equipment, providing airlines with significantly increased efficiency and cost reduction.

Connect with CEO Maria Esther Martinez here.

2. AR Engineering

AR Engineering is a software development company with the mission of changing the way we interact and learn with digital content. Their all-in-one cloud-based procedure delivery platform delivers a feature-rich experience for educators, engineers and business staff alike.

Connect with Founder and CEO Akram Amir here.

3. Aiir Innovations

Borescope inspections are a tedious and complex process. Aiir Innovations uses smart features to automate the whole process and artificial intelligence to increase the quality of the inspection. Time is saved and safety is elevated!

Connect with Head of Sales Thibault Daboux here.

4. AireXpert

AireXpert reduces labour and operational costs caused by silos and fragmentation across aviation and aerospace MRO ecosystems. The company’s digital tools unlock access to the integrated maintenance network and increase collaboration to drive efficiency, cost containment and compliance.

Connect with CEO Andy Hakes here.

5. Basetwo

Basetwo is a low-code AI platform that enables engineers to optimize their production processes in real time. With Basetwo, engineers can connect to their production, quality and maintenance databases, and use that data to build robust simulation models and receive recommendations for how to operate their equipment and processes. To date, they have helped Fortune 500 manufacturers reduce cycle time and operational costs by over 40%.

Connect with CEO Thouheed Abdul Gaffoor here.

6. Conductor Software

Conductor is a customisable dashboard of your organisation’s health providing the insights and actions modern leaders need to optimise team performance, retain talent, and harness innovation.

Connect with Co-Founder and CEO Karren Jensen here.

7. LexX Technologies

LexX Technologies ingests, decodes, and synthesizes all maintenance data, information and institutional knowledge; and provides a digital assistant solution to technicians working on critical plant & equipment — on any device. They leverage their own proprietary data ingest system, the best-in-class Large Language Models and Generative AI, to create a digital master corpus of their client’s organization and provide an intuitive user interface that is designed especially for the everyday use of a maintenance technician.

Connect with Hersh Sahai here.

8. NABLA Mobility

NABLA Mobility reduces fuel consumption and carbon by using ML/AI to enhance flight plans with comprehensive, multi-factor flight optimizations. Their solution harnesses the power of machine learning-based predictions and optimizations. They can predict the turbulence for 45% — 85%, meaning a 7x to 14x higher rate than the commonly used VWS-based model. By adopting the solution, airlines are able to avoid turbulence effectively and achieve better operational resilience.

Connect with Founder and CEO Shinji Tanaka here.

9. Sees.ai

The Sees.ai OS puts remote pilots in charge of connected & autonomous drones flying Beyond Visual Line Of Sight (BVLOS): Pilots in a central control room design the mission, and monitor progress in real-time for safety, whilst drones on site execute the mission using advanced 3D world-sensing & mapping and autonomous algorithms. In Q1 2021 they secured permission from the UK Civil Aviation Authority to fly their system routinely Beyond Visual Line of Sight in non-segregated airspace — the first (and still only) company in the UK to achieve such permission.

Connect with Co-Founder and CEO John McKenna here.

10. Zetamotion

Zetamotion provides a self-learning AI system capable of detecting defects and attributes not only on 2D but also on 2.5D surfaces across a wide range of products with an accuracy rate of 99%+ from the onset. Their system leverages a data feedback loop, fueled by a synthetic data engine, to accurately assess surface quality and pinpoint defects. Designed to minimise reliance on specialised hardware, Zetamotion’s AI-driven approach significantly simplifies the deployment and scalability of the system.

Connect with CEO Wilhelm Klein here.

Be sure to mark your calendars for November 13–17, and visit us at booth V34 to witness the future of aerospace and aviation up close. With these visionary teams in the spotlight, this year’s Dubai Airshow is not to be missed. We look forward to seeing you there!
