Over two intensive days (June 12-13, 2025), participants had the opportunity to visit key industrial and research centers, exchange experiences, and take part in thematic panels. 

The day began with a visit to Urządzenia i Konstrukcje S.A. in Żory-a company specializing in the design, production, and servicing of machinery and equipment for the mining, energy, construction, and tourism sectors. After a brief presentation on the company's activities, participants headed to the SkyPort Vocational Skills Center for an intensive networking and pitching session.

The event also featured thematic panels and presentations: 

Session A: Interactive Foresight Session: Industry Futures - Signals Shaping Europe’s Aerospace, Energy & Mobility Ecosystems 

Session B: Digital Tech & Beyond - From Ideas to Business 

Presentation: Drone Space Valley 

Presentation: Dr. hab. inż. Wojciech Skarka, Prof. PŚ 

The next day was dedicated to study visits: 

Łukasiewicz – Górnośląski Instytut Technologiczny 

Participants learned about the institute’s advanced research in smart mobility, aerospace, space, additive manufacturing (3D printing), and hydrogen technologies. The institute provides research, consulting, and training services for steel manufacturers. The meeting included in-depth discussions and an exchange of experiences. 

WB GROUP – Flytronic S.A. (Gliwice)

 A leading Polish center specializing in unmanned aerial systems (UAV) showcased the capabilities of the FlyEye system. The visit featured a hand-launched vertical takeoff demonstration and a UAV flight, which drew great interest-especially from participants encountering drone technology up close for the first time. 

Thank you to all partners and participants for your presence and engagement!
