The SESAR 3 Joint Undertaking is an institutionalised European partnership between private and public sector partners set up to accelerate through research and innovation the delivery of the Digital European Sky. To do so, it is harnessing, developing and accelerating the take-up of the most cutting-edge technological solutions to manage conventional aircraft, drones, air taxis and vehicles flying at higher altitudes. 

A new generation of aviation opens up new business opportunities for Finland. We invite companies, universities and research institutes to join in exploring opportunities for collaboration. In the info day you will hear the essentials regarding SESAR3 Research and Innovation Agenda, what activities will be funded in the coming years, and how you can participate. And most importantly, what kind of public support services are available for your help in preparing the funding proposals and in the project implementation phase.
