At the heart of the Paris Air Show, Concorde Hall had hosted the first edition of Paris Air Lab: 3000 sqm dedicated to research and innovation. Featuring collaborative work from industrial groups, companies, and startups from aeronautics and aerospace; conference debates on the future of the field; international startup pitches; immersive experiences and more, the Paris Air Lab has something for everyone.

Participants can explore 22 booths dedicated to innovation, aeronautics, aerospace and digital technology, or follow suggested thematic paths throughout the event. The Paris Air Lab has 2 conference rooms for keynote speakers and pitch sessions, 6 virtual reality booths, a “future vehicles” booth, and “Earth seen from above” photo exhibition. The Paris Air Lab also offers several co-working and relaxation spaces so participants can take time to enjoy the experience.

From artificial intelligence to jet propulsion, nearly 100 startups were featured throughout the week, as well as more than a dozen industrial associations, space agencies, and research centers, who have worked together to present their latest collaborative innovations.
