EBAN at the DUBAI AIRSHOW 2021 supporting the “VISTA INVESTOR Programme”
This November EBAN was represented by our Board members Ricardo Luz, Peter E. Braun and Davorin Stetner at the DUBAI AIRSHOW 2021, one of the largest air shows in the world. With 84K+ visitors, 140+ countries represented and 1200+ exhibitors, the Dubai Airshow comes as an opportunity to showcase aviation technologies, projects and achievements to the world. This year the Dubai AirShow is partnering with Vista Investor Programme, the most anticipated startup hub for the region and host to the latest innovations and talents driving the future of the industry. Of course EBAN was there to show its support!
Startups carefully selected from 12 different sectors all over the world, including cyber security, sustainability, defence, space, AI, robotics, tourism, logistics and more, participated in the 5-day event by networking, taking part in pitching competitions and meeting investors and key decision makers.
We are delighted to see one of the biggest airshows in the world partnering up with Vista, a startup event. EBAN is always supportive of business angel activity in Europe and beyond and gestures like these prove our commitment to a healthy and growing angel investing market. We look forward to more next Dubai Airshow!

Watch this Space: “Funding Space Forum”
Our “Funding Space Forum”, in cooperation with EUSPA and the Cassini Initiative, took off early last week with 100 starry-eyed attendees as passengers! The discussion orbited around the opportunities the EU is creating for companies to grow and be competitive on an international level.
The stars of the event were our dazzling speakers, Fiammetta Diani, Head of Market Development at EUSPA who presented the current activities and future plans from EUSPA to support space-tech entrepreneurs in their effort to concur the final frontier; Tomas S. Jonsson, Team Leader CASSINI initiative, European Commission, DG Defence Industry and Space, who revealed everything under the sun in terms of relevant steps implemented by European Commission and what space-tech companies can expect; Uli Fricke, CEO Triangle Venture Capital Group, CEO FunderNation and Rob Desborough, Managing Partner Seraphim Space Fund, CEO Seraphim Space Camp, who shared with the audience breath-taking achievements by European space-tech companies who shot for the stars thanks to private investors and funds; and our beaming moderator, Fabrice Testa, Co-chairman Luxembourg Space Tech Angels and EBAN Space Chairman.
Our five selected space-tech companies were all out of this world but the investor jury gravitated toward the rising star company “Lympik”. We are over the moon for them and can’t wait to see them pitch at our Annual Congress in Cork!
We were starstruck with Justyna Redelkiewicz, Head of Sector Consumer Solutions, Market and Technology at EUSPA, and her closing speech encouraging entrepreneurs to launch their business with the support of European institutions. EUSPA is most welcome in the EBAN universe where space-tech companies and angel investors share the skies! Together we can shoot for the moon!
We thank our lucky stars for having such brilliant partners and participating companies. To keep up to date with future events, all you have to do is follow us on LinkedIn and Twitter – it’s not rocket science!
